We are proud to present Shoreline Strategies – Embracing Coastal Transformation in Aotearoa, the sixth publication in the New Zealand Coastal Society’s Special Publication Series. This edition brings together a diverse range of perspectives from across Aotearoa, exploring how our communities, scientists, engineers, and decision-makers are responding to the dynamic challenges facing our coasts.
As climate change and environmental pressures reshape our shorelines, this publication offers more than just a collection of articles—it’s a call to action. It unites Māori, scientific, engineering, and community voices to guide coastal transformation and inspire collaboration. The insights within reflect a shared commitment to building a resilient coastal future, grounded in knowledge, partnership, and place.
At NZCS – Te Hunga Takutai o Aotearoa – our mission is to foster robust, nationally coordinated dialogue around coastal and marine management. Shoreline Strategies – Embracing Coastal Transformation in Aotearoa is a tangible contribution to that mission, and we’re excited to share it widely with our members, communities, and government partners.
Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, practitioner, or community leader, we invite you to engage with this publication, share its ideas, and be part of the collective effort to shape the future of Aotearoa’s coastlines.
