Come along for a walkaround at Moanataiari with Thames Coromandel District Council's Coastal Scientist Jamie Boyle to discuss the historical, existing and future issues concerning VLM, sea level rise, wave overtopping and managed retreat. Meet the group on the north-west corner of the seawall along Fergusson Drive, Thames by the pump-station. The trip will be followed by lunch at Cafe Melbourne in Thames which is a short walk away.

This event is a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, connect with fellow coastal professionals, and build relationships across our diverse coastal community. Whether you’re a long-standing member, new to the society, or simply keen to meet others working in the coastal space, everyone is welcome.

It’s an opportunity to make new connections, strengthen existing professional relationships, and discover the knowledge, expertise and perspectives within our wider community.

With food and drinks provided, the gathering will offer a relaxed and welcoming setting to network, catch up with colleagues, and meet new faces beyond your usual professional circles.
