  • The EMODnet Bathymetry World Coastline is available as a WFS service from EMODnet Bathymetry. The service URL is: https://ows.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/wfs. The layer contains vector lines derived from land polygons available from OpenStreetMap. The original source url is https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/. Parts of these polygons have been modified for use in EMODnet Bathymetry. In addition to the OSM EMODnet default coastline, three sub-layers are available as part of the EMODnet world coastline service. These sub-layers contain the best-estimate coastlines for Europe determined by Dutch research institute Deltares from satellite data (typically Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8) and in combination with the Global Tide Surge Model (GTSM) processed into digital coastlines for the European seas at LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide), MSL (Mean-Sea-Level), and MHW (Mean-High-Water). The level of detail is bound to the resolution of the satellite sensor (e.g. 10m for Sentinel-2). The latest December 2020 version now covers the entire coastline of Europe. A detailed paper is available describing the methodology used to determine the three versions of the satellite derived coastline: https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/sites/emodnet.ec.europa.eu/files/public/20201219_emodnet_bathymetry_satellite_derived_coastline_report.pdf

  • Coastline monitoring : Aquitaine coast (sandy coast since 1996, rocky coast since 2000), Corsican coast (since 2000 or 2002 depending on the site), the Pays de Monts coast (since 2010), the PACA region cliffs (work in progress). This project includes a number of coastal monitoring measures implemented on a local scale by the BRGM (the French Geological Survey) within the framework of the Aquitaine Coastal Observatory, the Corsican Coastal Observation Network and the Pays de Mons Coastal Observatory.
