Sponsorship Available from BMRG to Attend ‘Waves of Change

 
 ‘What are the real implications for Queensland’s coastal environments?  How do those involved in coastal planning and management proactively address these changing elements and mitigate potential impacts?  How do we know our management practices are the most effective solution to identified problems and who do we turn to for guidance and information?  All of these issues and more will be discussed at the Queensland Coastal Conference 2009.’

Conference plenary and concurrent sessions will focus on the following themes:
Planning, Policy and Politics
Coast and Marine Assets
Relationships – People and Communities
In Action not Inaction

Members of BMRG are eligible to take advantage of the opportunity to receive sponsorship from BMRG of up to $300 towards registration and conference expenses in order to attend the 2009 Qld Coastal Conference.
