About the Coastal & Water Team

The Ecology Action Centre's Coastal & Water Team is focused on lobbying and working with all levels of government to create new and update coastal regulations/policies. We promote a systems view of watersheds to fill legislative gaps, clarify jurisdictions, protect coastal environments from upstream activities and encourage nature-based solutions to coastal erosion and sea-level rise.
