Coastal Dynamics.

Coastal Dynamics is focused on implementing “end to end” data management and “one-stop shop” approach to marine data and services covering a full range of processes including data discovery, evaluation (through visualization and metadata review) and access and delivers a standards-based infrastructure that provides integration of marine data and services across a newly established oceanographic data centre with an aim of not being dependent on specific thematic (discipline) content and can be scaled to other communities such as fishermen, recreational divers, technical divers, maritime archaeologist, biologists, hydrologists and general enthusiasts in marine environment. Furthermore, the platform will create a seamlessly interoperabile environment with existing systems currently run by government and other parastatal bodies to aggregate existing marine meteorological and oceanographic data and information with the intent of serving application in an autonomous manner. The scale of the solution is significant given the large water body surrounding Malta as well as the increased interest and potential use in such data
