Coastalwatch: Coastal Condition Monitoring System - Bermagui

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已成为澳大利亚最受欢迎的水上运动网站，且始终位列体育类网站前八。该网站实时呈现澳大利亚及海外共计90余个沿海点位的现场画面，同时提供每日冲浪报告、浪涌预报、气象信息与新闻资讯，还涵盖视频、摄影及专题编辑内容。Coastalwatch还开发了沿海状况监测系统，依托摄像头网络为提升沿海活动安全性、优化沿海管理效率并控制管理成本作出了重要贡献。为此，Coastalwatch与澳大利亚冲浪救生协会（Surf Life Saving Australia）、澳大利亚冲浪联合会（Surfing Australia）建立了合作关系，并为志愿救援组织、社区团体以及冲浪援助国际（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致力于将海岸相关资讯传递给全体澳大利亚民众与海外游客，力争成为所有沿海用户群体的首选参考平台。秉持这一理念，Coastalwatch将全力依托自身全部资源，助力开展科学合理的沿海地带研究与管理工作。
