CEOS COAST 

---

• Recently, the UN body has endorsed a multinational project called “Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Coastal Observations, Applications, Services, and Tools (CEOS COAST)”. 

• The CEOS COAST program is co-led by ISRO and NOAA from America. The program aims to improve the accuracy of coastal data based on satellite and land-based observations. 

• Its pilot projects are uniquely capable of using Earth observation technologies to meet many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals specified by the United Nations for the Oceans Decade Initiative. 

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is an American scientific agency working under the United States Department of Commerce.
