Proceedings of the workshop on Satellite Observation Data-based systems for improved coastal and marine management: moving from research to services (EASC2018 Session 5 Workshop 2)
Earth observations from space can provide unique and cost-effective information to greatly aid sustainable marine management in the East Asian Seas region. This is demonstrated through developments of scientific integration into services allowing actionable intelligence to end-users, such as those in fisheries and aquaculture, marine planning, water quality monitoring, maritime security, oil spill preparedness and response, and environmental protection.
The sessions specifically aimed to identify opportunities for the application or further integration of Earth Observation (EO) data, including training for the use of Earth Observation data to support future SDS-SEA (Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia) actions.
