2019 South Australian Coastal Conference
University of Adelaide
7 – 8 November 2019
Join us for the 2019 South Australian Coastal Conference
Welcome to the 2019 South Australian Coastal Conference convened by the South Australian Chapter of the Australian Coastal Society.
This year the SA Coastal conference will have a number of sub-themes such as:
- coastal collaboration;
- blue carbon;
- coastal restoration;
- coastal hazards;
- coastal conservation;
- coastal processes; and
- gaps in our coastal knowledge.
Some of these themes, such as ‘coastal collaboration’ are particularly relevant for local government in SA with the recent creation of the SA Coastal Council Alliance. The ‘blue carbon’ theme is an important issue for the SA Premier’s Climate Change Council.
Come and meet with us to join in conversations that affect the SA Coast. You will have a great opportunity to interact with non-government organisations, community groups, coastal researchers and government staff who deal with coastal issues. The conference provides a venue for information exchange, networking and sharing of ideas for all those with an interest and commitment in looking after our precious coast.
