Coastcare Week

Coastcare consist of 60,000 local heroes in 2,000 community groups around the country, and Coastcare Week, 3 -9 December 2007, celebrates these amazing individuals and their great achievements.

Coastcare is all about finding practical solutions to local environmental issues, and local heroes are the driving force behind many Coastcare groups and their efforts to protect and conserve our coastal environment.

These local heroes are keeping the great Australian tradition of volunteering alive, bringing their communities together and conserving the local coastline while enjoying the great outdoors with family or good mates.
