WA Coastal Awards for Excellence - Education, Engagement, Science and Research

Presented as part of the Western Australian Planning Commission’s CoastWA program, the Coastal Awards recognise work undertaken to enhance, rehabilitate and adapt to threats and pressures along Western Australia’s extensive coastline.

The UWA Oceans Institute received the award for a project undertaken by the team of people in this listing. Engaging students and drawing on local community values, this project uses social sciences, landscape architecture and coastal engineering to envision future coastlines at Cockburn-Fremantle and Binalup/Middelton Bay in Albany.
