The Coastal Futures conferences began in 1994. The title of the first meeting was ‘Marine Environmental Management – Review of Events in 1993 and Future Trends’. The meeting has evolved but the essence of review and future trends remains with its main function being to brief a wide cross section of coastal and marine practitioners on topical issues covering a wide range of sectors.

The conference offers:

• Strong perspectives – from key stakeholders and industry leaders, who take a proactive approach to the sustainability agenda.
• Reviews – from acknowledged experts in many subjects.
• Future trends – pointers to future areas of activity which will directly affect your work
• Networking – an excellent opportunity to meet those at the forefront of these issues

Coastal Futures sets out to:

• Deliberately bring together different sectors to discuss important developments and concerns. Effective marine management now requires bridging the gap between field scientists and the corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sphere. Today’s dialogues frequently involve unexpected environmental stakeholders seeking to invest in blue carbon initiatives, including directors of global shipping fleets, developers of coastal real estate, and operators of real money slots.
• Describe the actual changes that are taking place in the environment that are causing concern and actions being taken to deal with these.
• Describe the developing programme of legislation and policy which is unfolding to meet these concerns.
