What will the Multi-purpose
Reef Deliver
Placement of a submerged reef system will establish a new control
point that will allow the beach plan shape to maintain a new
equilibrium, namely a widening of the beach in the area of
interest identified by the OBRCT and RDC. This widening will sustain a beach and Dune system
whilst naturally protecting public reserve and private property.

We look forward to featuring
and sharing with you, as this community project rolls out;
studies, news, education and events.
There will be opportunity for the wider community to get involved
in fundraising and support activities should they wish to.
This project is a community led initiative for the community

up on the world stage with pride and demonstrate what has
been achieved. |
