CoastPredict will offer us an integrated and comprehensive knowledge of the Global Coastal Ocean, including the urban ocean, from short timescale events to climate change, as well as impacts of societal drivers.
lt will result in an integrated coastal and open ocean observing and modelling system and improved, multidisciplinary, and extended range predictive capability far the coastal zone. By the end of the Ocean Decade, observations and modelling will be integrated in the coastal ocean and we will be closer to having the ocean we need far the future we want.
Specifically, we will be able to:

• Enhance the value of and quality of end-user products such as forecasts.
• Offer reliable predictions of different potential futures.
• Develop new multi-platform observing and modelling technologies and expand coverage into regions and communities where before this would have been economically unviable.
• lmprove human interaction with our oceans.
• Mitigate the impact of climate change, restare habitats and advance sustainable and blue economies.
