Contributions to coastal research

One of the functions of the Coast Protection Board is to conduct or support research related to coastal protection, restoration, and development. Organisations interested in conducting research that aligns with the Board’s priorities are encouraged to contact the Board to seek support via email at CoastProtectionBoard@sa.gov.au.

The Coast Protection Board’s grant programs are administered with the support of the Department for Environment and Water.

Acknowledgement of Country

The state government acknowledges Aboriginal people as the First Peoples and Nations of the lands and waters we live and work upon and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge and respect the deep spiritual connection and the relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to Country.

We work in partnership with the First Peoples of South Australia and support their Nations to take a leading role in caring for their Country.
