Foxton Beach Coast Care is a community action programme, coordinated by Regional & Territorial Authorities
The programme aims to raise community awareness of the importance of dunes, and improve dune function for increased erosion protection.
Coast Care groups are made up of residents and beach users who care about their coastal environment and want to participate actively in protecting and managing that environment. Local residents, holiday home owners, bach users, beach front property owners, developers and conservationists, etc should be represented on Coast Care groups. We are an inclusive organisation.
Coast Care groups advise Council what work they regard as priority and they give their time to carry out tasks relating to restoring and protecting the dune system.
Coast Care is supported by Horizons MW and Horowhenua District Council which both offer advice on reducing erosion and assist the groups with resources including native plants, fertiliser and building materials.
Coast Care is involved in developing education resources on Coastal Resource Management, and research to improve the quality and reliability of projects.
