The Centre for Coastal Management is a research centre based in the Science, Environment, Engineering and Technology Group. In partnership with Gold Coast City Council, our goal is to become a Centre of Excellence by developing and promoting, at a national and international level, targeted research that contributes to all aspects of sustainable management of coastal regions.
Our objective has been to develop broad research and training agendas for coastal management. This has been achieved by improving and developing new best practices through the encouragement of research relevant to the sustainable management of urban environments in coastal areas and, in particular, Gold Coast City.
The Centre's uniquely qualified researchers have expert knowledge on the impacts of climate change and climate variability on coastlines and coastal communities and the Centre is an integral part of the Griffith Climate Change Adaptation Program and the Smart Water Research Consortium.
We are also very committed to the local community in relation to coastal decision making through the CoastEd and Beachcare programs which provide educational activities and encourage valuable community interaction in the management and maintenance of Gold Coast beaches, foreshores, waterways and coastal areas.
