ICAN Strategic Aims• Share experiences and find common solutions to coastal web atlas
development– Knowledge portal: Guides, cookbooks, “engines”, discussion
boards, code, use cases…• Globally integrate and interoperate among locally-maintained
atlases• Inform regional decision- and policy-making across several themes:
• Climate change - coastal vulnerability• Coastal governance (boundaries, protected areas, etc.)• Coastal hazards• Population pressures• Marine spatial planning• Resource availability and exploitation
