Coasts and oceans are busy, shared places. They are home to wildlife, give us food, move people and things around the world, and are places where many of us live, work and have fun.

Join the Coastal Communities South team to learn about your role in protecting the coast, and how your choices, like what seafood you eat, can help keep the ocean healthy.

Explore an illustrated coastal scene to see how fishing boats, big ships, wildlife, energy and people all use the same space. Learn fun facts about seafood, pollution and how the ocean helps us. Draw what you love about the coast, and what you would change, and add your ideas to the scene so we can see what matters most to people.

You can also try our fishing game to see how people catch fish for food, and why it is important to leave enough fish in the sea for the future.
