- 3. ACEF Objectives Goal: • Provide enduring access to coastal data of national importance Objectives 1. Establish a coastal community of practice to identify key coastal datasets, improve technologies and identify further funding opportunities. 2. Identify key national datasets that need to be collected, and fund strategic research that address key gaps in these datasets. 3. Enable improved digital access to quality-assured coastal observational data and methods for analysis & visualisation Much more than just data … • informing coastal planning and development • linking otherwise separate datasets • assisting natural resource management • creating coastal researcher collaborations
- 4. Science and Management Questions • How, are coastal ecosystems changing in response to anthropogenic pressures and climate change? • How is the productivity of coastal ecosystems related to terrestrial subsidies and how will climate change affect these ecosystems? • How is coastal geomorphology changing in relation to climate change and extreme events? • How far do vagile coastal and marine organisms move and what are the key coastal habitats they depend upon? • Can we measure the relative benefits/impacts of legislated environmental management programs on Australia’s coastal ecosystems? • What are the key gaps in understanding of coastal ecosystems or in management of the flora, fauna and processes of these ecosystems?

Editor's Notes
- The webportal lets coastal councils, and other stakeholders, find information on coastal research projects, to identify research initiatives in their local region, and to access the findings of projects by:highlighting the breadth and depth of coastal research providing a webportal for researchers to upload their coastal research projects, andproviding an opportunity for stakeholders to explore research findings. The Google maps interface allows exploration of research at local, regional and national scales.The portal has received a lot of interest from local councils as the comment from Barry Sammels testifies
- SQUID is a software for managing and visualizing water quality and coastal monitoring instrument data. It is configurable and enables the user to import practically any data set and upload it to a database such as SQL Server. An in-built visualiser allows the user to show and compare all imported data. A web module connects to the database and displays on a map live data from instruments which are permanently installed in waterways.
- Via ACEF research can now access wave and beach profile information from 17 camera around Australia. As well as being able to see beaches in real time research have access to a 2 year video archive, and can see analysis of wave patterns through time as well as changes in beach profiles
