Overview

The Coastcare Community Handbook (200Kb PDF) contains practical and technical information as a first-point reference for Coastcare projects. All the necessary details on how to start a Coastcare group, manage a project and monitor an area, as well as helpful tips for preventing problems along the way, are included.

The handbook guides you step by step through: collecting seed and planting trees; identifying seagrasses; controlling erosion and building a fence; marine pest issues; forming a group and applying for funding. It is a field kit to help identify South Australian native plants and animals. We have also included extra resources and contacts for you to find out more.
