NW Europe Coastal Resources Establish the Northwest Europe Coastal Resources

Centre

Development of a Virtual Coastal Resource Centre for NW Europe. The Centre (a web-based Portal) will house the following features:

• A GIS (Geographic Information System) Coastal Atlas for NW Europe

• Local information system (LIS) decision making tools for local authorities

• A Media Information Resource Centre (MIRS)• A Coastal Zone Youth Club (CZYC)


MSCF-CT-2003-504444

II - Involving the Public in Coastal Education

• Aims– provide information about coastal and marine

environments of North West Europe for different target audiences by using internet technology (websites).


MSCF-CT-2003-504444

Designing for end-users

Methodology:

To ascertain how each end-user group searches for information and to understand their needs we are using :

- Other websites,- Questionnaires,- Interviews.


MSCF-CT-2003-504444

Websites• CoastWeb:

– designed for professionals e.g. scientists, practitioners, researchers.

• Media Information Resource System (MIRS):

– is designed for Journalists interested in brief and accurate information such as press releases.

• Coastal Zone Youth Club (CZYC):

– is a website for accessing educational information (primary, secondary and higher). Children can access the information (including games, videos, gallery, documents).
