>This provides the foundations for managing the coasts. Specific future research questions might include: How do the intensity and distribution of the current and motion of the sea or salt and acid levels change in the short and long term? How does a temperature rise affect the ecosystem? What controls the occurrence of algae blooms or jellyfish swarms? What zones in the Wadden Sea must be protected as a priority in the event of oil spills?

COSYNA is being developed in close coordination and cooperation with the German Marine Research Consortium (KDM) and the relevant bodies of federal and state governments. In a first step, a feasibility study will show how COSYNA can be linked with observation systems of countries with a North Sea coast in the future.
