  abstract = {{T}he seafloor-or bathymetry-of the world's coastal waters remains largely unknown despite its primary importance to human activities and ecosystems. {H}ere we present {S}2{S}hores ({S}atellite to {S}hores), the first sub-kilometer global atlas of coastal bathymetry based on depth inversion from wave kinematics captured by the {S}entinel-2 constellation. {T}he methodology reveals coastal seafloors up to a hundred meters in depth which allows covering most continental shelves and represents 4.9 million km2 along the world coastline. {A}lthough the vertical accuracy ({RMSE} 6-9 m) is currently coarser than that of traditional surveying techniques, {S}2{S}hores is of particular interest to countries that do not have the means to carry out in situ surveys and to unexplored regions such as polar areas. {S}2{S}hores is a major step forward in mitigating the effects of global changes on coastal communities and ecosystems by providing scientists, engineers, and policy makers with new science-based decision tools.},
