This paper explores how coastal data and information can be mobilised in information systems and applied in coastal management. The concept of an Information System is defined and described, and the potential role of Local Information System (LIS) in integrated coastal management (ICM) is considered. Three examples, from the Severn Estuary, UK the coast of the North West of England and North Wales, and the Fal and Helford estuaries, are used to demonstrate the requirements of a LIS for coastal areas. The role of GIS as part of the solution is considered in detail. The paper demonstrates how ideas from the disciplines of information systems and information science can be practically applied in coastal areas. The findings promote a holistic approach for those involved in the development of technologies and dealing with data and information about coasts and oceans.
Research highlights
► Fundamental concepts from information systems and information science are applied to coastal and marine management.
► Three case study areas demonstrate the concept of a Local Information System.
► The role of GIS is considered in detail.
► This organising idea has the potential to ‘mobilise’ information and bring together disparate efforts.
► Findings promote an holistic approach for knowledge sharing and the development of technologies.
