After a successful kick-off meeting with ESA (15/12/09), the operational activities have started in early January 2010. The Marcoast project is an important component for GMES, complementing the Marine Core Service and the emerging downstream service projects initiated by the Commission.

MarCoast (Marine & Coastal Environmental Information Services) delivers satellite-based services in the field of marine and coastal applications.

MarCoast2 is a three year GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) project funded by the European Space Agency.
