The Coastal Wiki provides concise, professionally reviewed introductions to a wide range of coastal and marine topics. Articles explain essential concepts in an accessible professional form, with links to related topics and specialist literature. They are periodically updated under human editorial responsibility. ===Explore coastal knowledge=== Whether you need a quick introduction to an unfamiliar subject, background for a coastal management problem, or a route into the scientific literature, enter a topic in the search box above or browse the main subject areas below. :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Coastal_and_marine_ecosystems '''Ecosystems''']] :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Coastal_and_marine_observation_and_monitoring '''Observation and monitoring''']] :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Coastal_and_marine_pollution '''Pollution''']] :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Coastal_protection '''Coastal protection''']] :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Physical_coastal_and_marine_processes '''Physical processes''']] :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Integrated_coastal_zone_management '''Integrated coastal management''']] :[[http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Category:Climate_change,_impacts_and_adaptation '''Climate adaptation''']] Each category contains subcategories for more detailed exploration. Some articles are listed only within these subcategories. See also [[Coastal Wiki:Why, What and for Whom?|More about the Coastal Wiki]]. ===Contribute expertise=== The Coastal Wiki welcomes contributions from coastal and marine scientists, engineers, practitioners and policymakers. The Coastal Wiki was launched in 2007 with initial support from the European Commission. Over nearly two decades, the Coastal Wiki has since developed into a comprehensive reference resource for coastal professionals. Editing therefore requires authorization, which can be requested via '''info@coastalwiki.org'''. See also [[Coastal Wiki Quality Assurance|review process]]. ===Quality assurance=== Coastal Wiki articles are reviewed by the scientific content moderator, Job Dronkers, by members of the [[Coastal Wiki Editorial Board|Editorial Board]], or by invited experts. Articles are not generated by AI. AI tools may be used as an additional check for scientific correctness, internal consistency and consistency with the scientific literature. <!------------------------------Bottom table---------------------> {| style=" width:100%; border:1px solid #23297A; margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; background:#f9f9f9;" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" |style="width:25%"| [[Help:Contents|'''Help page''']] |style="width:25%"| [[Help:Basic setup, rules and guidelines|'''Basic setup, rules and guidelines''']] |style="width:25%"| [[Help:How to edit an article|'''How to edit an article''']] |style="width:25%"|[[glossary|'''Glossary''']] |} <!------------------------------end of Bottom table---------------------> c0sl09evsxnqd2jes9r8in48b4g4iz8
