Video: Coastalwatch Safeguards Shorelines and Beaches with Hosted Milestone Video

When you picture some of the world's most beautiful beaches, you're no doubt envisioning long, curving expanses of white sand, clear blue waters and the soundscape of rolling waves and warm gentle breezes rustling through the palm trees overhead. What may be missing from your mental scenario are the hidden dangers - powerful currents capable of sweeping an unassuming swimmer or surfer out to sea, or massive waves that can wreak havoc on everything in their path, not to mention dangers caused by the slower erosion of coastlines and other environmental hazards affecting humans and animals.

Born from its founders' love of nature and seeking to provide fellow surfers with real-time wave and water conditions, Coastalwatch is an innovative Australian company that has the world's coastlines under its high-tech eyes with networks of private and publicly owned surveillance cameras. Employing a set of sophisticated analytics they have developed themselves, Coastalwatch services international surf life saving and coastal management needs by delivering live and recorded video and information on beaches around the globe via its CoastalCOMS division. CoastalCOMS monitors several beaches along Australia's Gold Coast, as well as coastal areas in western and southern U.S., Hawaii, and Denmark, too.
