Love Our Coast
Council's Marine Diversity program aims to help the community better understand, protect, and celebrate our coastal and marine environments. Over the next 12 months, local activities and events will be delivered in collaboration with leading local community groups, scientists and coastal experts. As part of this, we will be running our 'Love the Coast' Photography exhibition this summer!
