Green Shores for Local Government
The purpose of the Green Shores Local Government Group is to enhance the capacity of staff and elected officials who work with landowners and other stakeholders in shoreline planning and protection through the Green Shores program.
This work is especially important in light of climate change adaptation and the need to integrate Green Shores with other key planning and community engagement processes.
