The Oceans and Coasts community is the network of marine scientists and coastal planners who contribute expertise, review and data to its work on oceans and coasts, climate and hazards, and biodiversity and nature. They take part through moderated subject groups and working groups. Rules apply equally to all, interests are declared, and taking part gives no authority over findings.

For specialist community, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, night lights, land cover and true-colour imagery with relief in 3D and true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on Pacific Island states; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Added as sub-communities form
The ocean community joins physical and biological oceanographers, coastal engineers, fisheries scientists, port specialists and coastal communities. What they look for here is a shared reading of sea-level and ecosystem change that each can translate into designs, quotas or plans. Their methods are ocean science and ecology; their topics include fisheries and livelihoods.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Community of practice | A group of people who share a concern or a craft and learn to do it better by interacting regularly; the term comes from Lave and Wenger's work on situated learning. |
| Conflict of interest | A situation in which financial, professional or personal interests could compromise, or appear to compromise, judgement in research or review. |
| Personal data | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, directly or indirectly, such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online identifier, as the EU General Data Protection Regulation defines it. |
| Coastal flood | Flooding of coastal land by the sea, caused by high tides, storm surge and waves on top of mean sea level. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
