Abstract
Firstly, this chapter introduces the digital ocean and digital coast applications from the standpoint of ocean ecological environmental monitoring, shoreline and island management, El Nio phenomenon and the Sea-level rising monitoring, fisheries and public service and so on. Then, the practice in the program of China offshore digital ocean information infrastructure is introduced. The achievements laid the technical foundation for the development of China’s digital ocean, the sustainable development of China’s ocean industry.
