25 Years of Caring for our Coast
Cambridge Coastcare protects and enhances the recreational, educational and environmental values of the natural 4.8kms of coastline within the Town of Cambridge, covering 53ha of coastal bushland reserve.
How we help

- Monitor beach usage, impact and environmental changes
- Conduct volunteer working days for beach front restoration and maintenance
- Assist the Cambridge Town Council with problems associated with the coastline
- Seek funding for coastal management projects
- Monitor beach-front developments and assess impact
- Encourage public interest in the preservation of the coastline
