NACC’s Coastal Community Grants Program aims to improve the management and protection of the coastal environment to ensure its ecological values are retained for future generations.
Coastal Community Grants
The coast of the Northern Agricultural Region faces many challenges including sea level rise, increasing recreational and commercial use, population growth and urban development. NACC Coastal Community Grants aim to improve the management and protection of the coastal environment to ensure its ecological values are retained for future generations. The grants provide resources to assist land managers and community groups to undertake on-ground coastal management and adaptation activities, and enhance community skills and knowledge in rehabilitation, restoration and conservation of the coast.
