FutureCOAST is an annual seminar series set up by David R. Green from the Department of Geography and Environment, University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

FutureCOAST is about the successful management of the marine and coastal environment in this new Millennium. In particular, FutureCOAST events will focus upon the use of Geographical Information Systems, Remote Sensing and the Internet in marine and coastal zone management.

The inaugral meeting of FutureCOAST (FutureCOAST 2000: Coastal Zone Management in the New Millennium - Exploring Techniques for Better Management) was held on 14th and 15th June, 2000 in Falmouth, Cornwall, and was a very successful event. The meeting consisted of a day of talks, poster presentations, workshops and working demonstrations of the use of information technology (IT) in marine and coastal zone management. The second day involved a bus and boat trip around the Fal Estuary. (To find out more about this and other meetings, click here).
