Coastal Map – Global High-Resolution Coastal Areas Map

Satellites monitor coastal areas, which are important ecosystems for plants and animals. This allows us to study and protect these natural wonders. The provided coastal area map facilitates the analysis of Earth observation data. It offers data that is essential for processing coastal area information. This lowers the workload and the computing time, and thus speeds up the delivery of the ecological coastal map to customers and decision makers.

The map provides 4 important indicators for coastal areas.

• a land-water indicator
• a coastline indicator
• a tidal flat indicator
• a vicinity indicator for land close to water and water close to land

The data described is located on a S3 bucket at https://coastalmap.s3-eu-central-1.ionoscloud.com.
