MyCoast NSW Study
/in Factsheet, Report, Research, Study Coastal Management, Hazards /by belindaThe MyCoast NSW Study was undertaken by UNSW in partnership with the Sydney Coastal Councils Group and NSW Surf Life Saving, and funded through the joint State and Commonwealth Natural Disaster Resilience Program.
The MyCoast NSW Study explores what the New South Wales community understands about coastal erosion and coastal inundation, as well as the driving forces behind these hazards: sea level rise and severe coastal storms. In this context, it highlights community knowledge, perceptions, values and attitudes of NSW coastal communities in relation to ‘their coast’ and key themes related to associated management issues and strategies.
The purpose of the MyCoast NSW Study was to provide an evidence-based platform that will assist local governments and coastal management professionals in the future development of suitable and effective educational strategies and programs to help improve the ability of NSW coastal communities to adapt sustainably to the risk of coastal erosion and inundation.
Project resources including a final report, factsheets and a study guide for high school teachers are available at www.bees.unsw.edu.au/nsw-my-coast-study, or can be downloaded below:
Sydney Harbour Estuary Processes Study
/in Report, Study Catchment Management, Coastal Management, Estuary Management /by belindaThe Sydney Harbour Estuary Processes Study was undertaken in partnership with Greater Sydney Local Land Service, Office of Environment and Heritage, Sydney Institute of Marine Science and City of Sydney Council. The study report published in June 2018 contributes to Stage 2 of the Greater Sydney Harbour Coastal Management Program (detailed studies of vulnerabilities and opportunities) to fill gaps in current knowledge about the coastal management issues affecting Sydney Harbour.
