Actions for Change

What a great event this one will be! Coast to Coast is the renowned, and only, National Coastal Management Conference, when all with interest on coastal, estuarine and marine matters get together, every two years, to celebrate Australia’s coasts, and share knowledge and experiences on management, science, policy, governance, activism and many other topics.

We, in South Australia, are honoured to be hosting the 2010 event. We decided that we want to focus on actions. In a time of so much pressure, our planet, our home, needs lots of looking after. We want this year’s Coast to Coast to be the forum where we can all discuss how to best do that, so the generations to come can continue to enjoy the wonderful beaches, amazing marine life and sensational estuaries that we are blessed to be part of.
