Abstract

Coastal web atlas (CWA) development is introduced in this chapter as a relatively new field of technology, driven by a wide range of coastal policy issues such as population pressure and climate change. International interest in CWAs is demonstrated by the large number of CWA initiatives worldwide. However, there is a need to take stock of technological developments as well as other lessons learned. This chapter sets the scene in relation to these issues which in turn provides the context for describing the aims of the book. The aims of the book are articulated as presenting the latest developments in CWAs and helping readers to determine future needs in mapping and informatics for coastal management.
