  abstract = {{L}ow-lying coastal zones are home to around 10% of the world's population and to many megacities. {C}oastal zones are largely vulnerable to the dynamics of natural and human-induced changes. {A}ccurate large-scale measurements of key parameters, such as bathymetry, are needed to understand and predict coastal changes. {H}owever, nearly 50% of the world's coastal waters remain unsurveyed and for a large number of coastal areas of interest, bathymetric information is unavailable or is often decades old. {T}his lack of information is due to the high costs in time, money and safety involved in collecting these data using conventional echo sounder on ships or {L}i{DAR} on aircrafts. {E}urope is no exception, as {E}uropean seas are not adequately surveyed according to the {I}nternational {H}ydrographic {O}rganisation. {B}athymetry influences ocean waves and currents, thereby shaping sediment transport which may alter coastal morphology over time. {T}his paper discusses state-of-the-art coastal bathymetry retrieval methods and data, user requirements and key drivers for many maritime sectors in {E}urope, including advances in {S}atellite-{D}erived {B}athymetry ({SDB}). {B}y leveraging satellite constellations, cloud services and by combining complementary methods, {SDB} appears as an effective emerging tool with the best compromise in time, coverage and investment to map coastal bathymetry and its temporal evolution.},
