Coastalwatch: Coastal Condition Monitoring System - Dee Why

Since its launch in 1998, Coastalwatch has become Australia's most popular water sports website, and is consistently ranked in the top eight sporting websites. The site displays live vision from over 90 coastal locations around Australia and overseas. It also provides daily surf reports, swell forecasting, weather information and news; as well as video, photographic and editorial content. Coastalwatch has also developed a Coastal Conditions Monitoring System, which utilises the camera network to make a significant contribution to safer coastal use and more efficient and cost effective coastal management. To this end, Coastalwatch has partnered with Surf Life Saving Australia and Surfing Australia; and supports Volunteer Rescue organisations, community groups, and charities such as SurfAid International and the Surfrider Foundation Australia. Coastalwatch is committed to bringing the coast to all Australians and overseas visitors, and becoming the premier reference site for all coastal user groups. With this in mind, Coastalwatch is dedicated to assisting with sound coastal zone research and management through the use of all its resources.

自1998年上线以来，Coastalwatch已成为澳大利亚最具影响力的水上运动门户网站，并长期跻身澳大利亚体育类网站TOP8行列。该网站实时展示澳大利亚及海外共90余个沿海区域的视频画面，同时提供每日冲浪实况报告、涌浪预报、气象资讯与新闻动态，以及视频、摄影与原创编辑内容。此外，Coastalwatch还开发了沿海状况监测系统（Coastal Conditions Monitoring System），依托布设的摄像头网络，为提升沿海活动安全性、优化沿海管理效率并降低管理成本作出了突出贡献。为此，Coastalwatch已与澳大利亚冲浪救生协会（Surf Life Saving Australia）、澳大利亚冲浪运动协会（Surfing Australia）建立战略合作关系，并为各类志愿救援组织、社区团体以及国际冲浪救助（SurfAid International）、澳大利亚冲浪者基金会（Surfrider Foundation Australia）等公益慈善机构提供支持。Coastalwatch始终秉持“将沿海资讯惠及全体澳大利亚民众与海外访客”的理念，致力于打造面向所有沿海活动参与者的顶级参考平台。基于此目标，Coastalwatch将整合全部资源，助力开展科学规范的沿海区域研究与管理工作。
