Focusing on Australia, Wales (UK) and selected regions of Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands and South America, Living Coasts is linking activities, events and processes on land with those occuring in the intertidal and subtidal zones.

The approach utilised environmental descriptors generated entirely from Landsat sensor data, including fractional vegetation cover and annual water hydroperiod, which were combined to generate the classifications of Australia.  The research and development was undertaken in parellel with Living Wales.
