    Coastal Climate Change Guidelines

    Info

    Over the past two decades there has been a growing awareness of the potential impacts that human-induced global climate change may have, and especially its possible effects on the coastal and ocean environment. This awareness has been raised to the extent that many approving bodies now insist that climate change effects be taken into account in all new development applications. The NCCOE is presenting a workshop for its 2010 update of the document Guidelines for Responding to the Effects of Climate Change in Coastal and Ocean Engineering, which has been...

    Australian Coastal Observatory

    Info

    Do we need an Australian Coastal Observatory? In the past few years considerable effort has gone into developing a new research infrastructure for marine (Integrated Marine Observing System - IMOS) and terrestrial systems (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network TERN). It is commonly recognised that a ‘gap’ exists in the creation of a national data and information "commons" for the coastal zone (onshore and nearshore and including estuaries). The rapid development of key research data commons organisations such as the Australian National Data Service (...

    Citizen Science on the Coast

    Info

    Nearly every state in Australia now has citizen science programs running in coastal and marine environments, such as Reef Watch (SA and Vic), Reef Life Survey, Sea Search, CoastKeepers, Coral Watch, Botany Bay Watch and more. Citizen science is proving to be a valuable means to provide scientists and managers with data about coastal and marine ecosystems, engaging the community and giving the community a sense of stewardship for these precious environments. There have been some significant ‘wins’ for coastal citizen science that not only validate...
