Coastalwatch Coastal Condition Monitoring System - Terrigal

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，且长期位列该国体育类网站前八之列。该网站展示了澳大利亚境内及海外共90余个沿海点位的实时影像，同时提供每日冲浪实况报告、涌浪预报、气象信息与新闻资讯，以及视频、摄影与专题编辑内容。此外，Coastalwatch还开发了海岸状况监测系统（Coastal Conditions Monitoring System），该系统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重要贡献。为此，Coastalwatch已与澳大利亚冲浪救生总会（Surf Life Saving Australia）、澳大利亚冲浪协会（Surfing Australia）达成合作，并为志愿救援机构、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致力于将沿海资讯传递给全体澳大利亚民众与海外访客，力争成为各类沿海活动参与者的首选参考平台。秉持这一理念，Coastalwatch将依托自身全部资源，助力开展科学规范的海岸带研究与管理工作。
