An Implementation Strategy for the Coastal Module of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS): GOOS Report No. 148

The Coastal Module of GOOS is designed to improve capabilities to mitigate the effects of natural hazards. GOOS is a permanent global system for observations, modeling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide. GOOS provides accurate descriptions of the present state of the oceans, including living resources; continuous forecasts of the future conditions of the sea for as far ahead as possible, and the basis for forecasts of climate change.
