Innovations in the methods allowing collection, analysis and communication of data present a wide range of opportunities to those working in industries operation in coastal and ocean areas. A new generation of sensor technologies, generating high density data strams representing environmental parameters, can now be combined with freely available holistic data sources, such as those detailing socio-economic and demographic factors. Much of this data is now available Pen Source, and advanced methods allow what can appear a mass of unstructured, and unrelated datasets to be combined to generate answers to pressing issues such as those pertaining to environmental management, and spatial planning. This is shown to significantly reduce uncertainty within decision making processes.

 

All welcome!
