Become a coastal ambassador
Practical training, resources and guidance to learn about our local coast and marine environments
Our Coastal Ambassadors Program provides an educational experience to about 50 Adelaidians every year, to encourage conservation and advocacy.
A Coastal Ambassador can be anyone who wants to learn as much as they can about our coast and marine environment, and are driven to spread the word about and help protect it.
The program offers two separate courses – one for youth and the other for adults – to community members who are passionate about protecting and conserving Adelaide’s stunning coastlines and marine life.
Our Coastal Ambassador program for adults offers training, mentoring and interactive field trips to educate and inspire individuals about our coast and marine environments and what can be done to help conserve them.
The program is open to anyone living in metropolitan Adelaide who is aged 18 years or above, and is free for participants.
Applications for our Coastal Ambassadors program for adults are now closed.
The Youth Coastal Ambassador program is for young people in Year 8 or 9 to gain practical training, resources and guidance to learn about our local coast and marine environments.
Applications for our Youth Coastal Ambassadors program are now closed.
