In order to identify coastal areas at risk of flooding and to aid climate change adaptation, the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) under the umbrella of Operation Phakisa Ocean Economy has commissioned the development of a Coastal Flood Hazard Decision Support Tool (DeST).
The National OCIMS is the result of collaborative partnerships led by the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries and managed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The project has drawn from the expertise of government, labour, business, academia and other sectors. It serves under the premise of Operation Phakisa a national government project.
