With increasing marine traffic, manmade events like oil spills cause problem especially near the coastal waters. \par \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 While we cannot control the natural forces, we can reduce the hazards by two ways: o\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 ne by taking action just before or during the disaster and the other by taking preparation action in advance. To reduce costly damages due to natural hazard to the minimum, we need real-time information on sea state and marine environments \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 and near future prediction for proper warning and for timely operation to reduce the impact. Fundamental countermeasure such as proper construction of coastal hazard prevention facilities, other hardware construction require long-term statistica \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 l\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 prediction of marine environments obtained from the accumulation of long-term observation or hindcasting data. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 Coastal countries pay more interest and attention on the coastal hazard reduction because it is directly related to the interest of lo\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 cal and national governments. However, there is also a tendency that it is easy to forget such problem of coastal disaster a while after the occurrence of the hazard because the occurrence of the coastal hazard is not so frequent. To take cost effective \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 m\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 easure to reduce such rare hazard is important such a way by combining with other benefits of ocean observing system since the well organized observation and forecasting system that is needed for specific coastal hazard can be also used for other ocean se \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 r\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 vices. Reduction of coastal disaster can be a acceptable justification for the establishment of the ocean observing system, especially for the developing countries. The working strategy of the establishment of the ocean and costal observation system ca \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 n\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 be formulated by linking with costal disaster reduction. \par \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 Major challenges in data product for better service have been identified and described by IGOS Coastal Theme}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af37\afs22\alang335 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\loch\af37\dbch\af37\insrsid11555147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af37\afs22\alang335 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\loch\af37\dbch\af37\insrsid8261557 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f37 (2006).
