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.
• 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.
