13 Need for a Coastal Service Number of FP7 projects contributed and possibly improved Europe s monitoring capabilities for the coastal zone. Several FP7 R&D projects have been successfully achieved, such as AQUAMAR (ACRI-ST), COBIOS, ASIMUTH, etc (and the ESA GSE Marcoast project) and are paving the way towards operational monitoring services. Need for: A larger and recognised use of Earth Observation for environmental reporting A pan-european deployment of a coastal service allowing harmonisation across MS Optimisation of and best use of complementary observations means Need for a reliable monitoring tool of the ecological status of the coast and shoreline = COPERNICUS coastal Service 13
