CoastNet Resources
- The Edge magazine contains articles, news and practice on current coastal issues.
- The CoastWeb library provides immediate access to thousands of coastal and marine publications (www.coastweb.info).
- We also share our expertise to manage project communications for transnational initiatives like we do for the Interreg funded IMCORE partnership.
-
We work on coastal and marine knowledge management. We recently provided a categorization system for the Coastal Wiki and our expertise for its improvement. We have also worked on a holistic ontology for the coastal management domain which can be applied to improve search results and other benefits.
-
Our new website, www.coastnet.org.uk contains news, events, publications that can be read on screen, networking services and many other resources. We are also present in social networking sites like Flickr or Facebook, etc.
-
We make sure our publications are accessible to all. Some are more practical, like the Dive Straight In booklet, full of resources and ideas for engaging all audiences in Marine and Coastal issues and others are more theoretical, addressing issues like social justice in coastal areas. We also have a newsletter that has focused on themes like coastal immigration or climate change around the world.
-
We offer virtual space and tailored services for networks and partnerships we support (Marine Education Network, APPG, IMCORE, Coastal Partnerships, etc.).
-
We still act as a gateway to other information resources we consider are relevant. Some of these are the Coastal Wiki, the Encora Coastal Contact Database and our Favourite Links page.
