The COASTCHART project, led by LogicaCMG, is entirely funded
through the Data User Element (DUE) of the European Space Agency??s
(ESA) Earth Observation Envelope Programme (EOEP). Once completed, the
project will allow for the delineation of 6,000 kilometers of western
African coastline, and will also enable standard navigation charts to
be updated from space-based observations.
