Coastalwatch: Coastal Condition Monitoring System - Palm Beach, NSW

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，并始终位列体育类网站前八。该网站展示了澳大利亚及海外超过90个海岸点位的实时画面，同时提供每日冲浪实况播报、涌浪预报、气象信息与新闻资讯，以及视频、摄影与采编内容。
Coastalwatch还开发了海岸状况监测系统（Coastal Conditions Monitoring System），通过其摄像头网络为提升海岸使用安全性、推动更高效且具成本效益的海岸管理工作作出了重要贡献。为此，Coastalwatch与澳大利亚冲浪救生协会（Surf Life Saving Australia）、澳大利亚冲浪运动协会（Surfing Australia）建立了合作关系，并为志愿救援组织、社区团体以及国际冲浪救助组织（SurfAid International）、澳大利亚冲浪者基金会（Surfrider Foundation Australia）等慈善机构提供支持。
Coastalwatch致力于将海岸风貌呈现给全体澳大利亚民众及海外访客，并致力于成为所有海岸使用群体的顶级参考平台。秉持这一理念，Coastalwatch将依托自身全部资源，助力开展健全的海岸带研究与管理工作。
