Sea Interactions


COIN contributes to
the CCMS programme
"Estuarine, Coastal
and Shelf Seas
Interactions"

Project summary
The project has two main themes: and to numerous EU and UK funded projects. The results are used to extend the scope and effectiveness of predictive and operational modelling.
