The CoastConnect platform aims to provide data, tools, and resources to support First Nations, regulatory bodies, local communities, and scientific organizations in their coastal monitoring and conservation efforts.
A Hakai Institute initiative, CoastConnect helps organizations by:
Helping them turn their data into impact – making relevant data and insights more accessible for informed decision-making
Making resources, documentation, data and methods freely available
Reducing technical and capacity barriers to monitoring efforts along the coast of British Columbia
The publicly available resources on the CoastConnect platform support organizations in establishing – or strengthening existing – programs such as habitat assessments and biodiversity studies, and also provide tools for researchers and organizations to interpret the data they collect.
