Friends of the Coast
 
Help us saving our coastal & marine heritage!


In many places the natural and cultural heritage is at risk as a result of the economic and political circumstances due to the priority for the economy. Voluntary organisations are having a difficult time; some are now collaborating in the Fellowship of the Coast in a joint effort to save our coastal and marine heritage from overexploitation and overfishing.

The Friends of the Coast campaign
The aim of the campaign is to mobilise public awareness and support for the conservation and restoration of coastal and marine wildlife, ecosystems, landscapes and cultural heritage. Friends of the Coast support the work of the Fellowship organisations by endorsing a Mission Statement.

Friends of the Coast Volunteer Programme
There is more to do than voluntary organisations can handle, especially in these testing times. We are currently selecting suitable opportunities for hands-on work to support natural and cultural heritage: monitoring wildlife, management, restoration, clean-up activities, or help making boardwalks and observation points, … in an area of your own choice. Maybe a day or two of your holidays?
