Coastcare Week is an annual campaign acknowledging community groups around Australia who are contributing to the significant improvement of coastal and marine environments. Volunteers and groups work across the country in many different areas including estuaries, coastal and marine wetlands and river and salt marsh ecosystems.
The Coastcare activities may include sand dunes restoration, the protection of threatened species, management of invasive species, plastics and waste removal, education and volunteer engagement and mitigating urban impact on marine environments like storm water pollution or the control of access to sensitive and vulnerable areas.
