Our coast and estuaries

Coastal Management Programs (Estuaries)

The Coffs Harbour LGA has a large number of estuaries which all require integrated strategic management.

Management of intermittently closed lakes and lagoons

Most of the time it is better to let the ICOLL self-regulate and not artificially open the lake. Learn what can happen to ICOLLS and their residents if the entrance is artificially opened.

Coastal Management

The Coffs Harbour Local Government Area covers approximately 70 kilometres of coastline making managing coastline hazards a difficult but essential task.

Seaweed management guideline

Seaweed accumulation is a naturally occurring process and is vital to the sustainability of beach and marine environments.
