02Mandat

What the platform exists to do.

The mandate is scientific: to produce interdisciplinary evidence on coastal and marine risk that planners, scientists and institutions can check and reuse. It exists as a dedicated platform because the marine community it serves is distinct from terrestrial biodiversity work and from port engineering alone.

Domaine

Périmètre

Oceans and coasts, climate and hazards, and biodiversity and nature.

Communauté

Qui participe

Marine scientists, coastal planners, fisheries experts and port specialists.

Productions

Ce qu'il est conçu pour publier

Coastal risk atlas methods, marine dependency briefs and research cases.

The platform’s work is organised around eight topics, from niveau de la mer et inondation côtière to marine pollution, and its methods draw on the STEM Commons, where GCRI stewards ocean and coastal science for the whole network.

03Éditeur

Qui est responsable.

GCRI publishes Oceans and Coasts and answers for its content. GCRI Canada is the lead contracting organisation.

  • Editorial responsibility: a platform editor and named subject reviewers, appointed as the platform opens.
  • Methods: marine observations, coastal inundation analysis and fisheries and habitat evidence, each with its uncertainty published on méthodes et incertitude.
  • Corrections: reported and logged on corrections.
04Limites

Ce que la plateforme ne fait pas.

  • It does not regulate, certify, license or approve any person, project or institution.
  • It does not issue flood, storm or tsunamis warnings; those come from competent national authorities.
  • It does not set fishing quotas, permit coastal development or allocate marine space.
  • Taking part gives no authority, appointment or influence over findings, and sponsorship confers no editorial control.
05Operating state

Established.

The platform is published at its canonical address, as a candidate for the second wave after evidence. Its page set is built, and expert groups, research cases and methods open as editors and review capacity are confirmed. Write to the research team at le formulaire de collaboration de recherche; l'accusé de réception donne une référence et indique l'étape suivante.

06Questions

Questions et réponses.

Is Oceans and Coasts a separate organisation?
No. It is a specialist platform of GCRI, which publishes it.
Can I join a working group?
Working groups open when their conveners and terms are in place. Expressions of interest can go to le formulaire de candidature d'expert.
Does the platform take positions on marine policy?
It publishes evidence with its methods and uncertainty. Policy choices belong to governments, regional bodies and communities; governance dialogue is convened by The Global Risks Forum (GRF).
