GMES Marine and Coastal Information Services Extension and Transfer 2009-2012
MARCOAST delivers satellite-based services in the field of marine and coastal applications.
The project is an important component for GMES, complementing the Marine Core Service and the emerging downstream service projects initiated by the Commission. MARCOAST is part of the ESA GMES Service Element projects, which started in the early 2000, and which focussed very strongly, from the beginning, on a sustainable service market, based on real user demands and implemented by fostering commercial activities driven and controlled by end users.
