The latest coastal research will now be at the fingertips of councils and developers, with the launch of a new webportal.
The CSIRO-developed website will enable coastal councils, and other coastal stakeholders, to find research easily at a national level, and then focus on regional and local research projects.
Dr Andy Steven, from CSIRO’s Wealth from Oceans Flagship said, “The website will also allow scientists and decision makers to investigate possible collaborations, to promote scientific research, and to identify any research gaps.”
The webportal has short, plain English, acronym-free research summaries and it provides further links to freely available data and research, under the Creative Commons license.
The webportal, which uses a Google Maps interface, was developed in cooperation with TERN — the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, which will now manage the website.
The webportal can be found at: http://coastalresearch.csiro.au/
