The Conservation Council of South Australia
Invites you to the fifth of six Summits to develop an environmental blueprint for South Australia:
Coast and Marine in a changing climate
Over 85% of the species in SA's southern waters occur nowhere else on
earth - and these are just the ones we know about! Our marine
environment is still relatively unchartered, which only increases the
risk of us destroying its diversity, viability and foodchains that
support our economy.
South Australia's spectacular coastal landscapes are facing threats
from marine and land-based activity, as well as sea-level rise from
climate change.
Come and be part of a vital discussion between the environment
movement and other key sectors as we analyse what sustainability can
mean for our coasts and our creatures of the deep.
Thursday 4th December 2008, 10.00am – 4.00pm
Enterprise House, 136 Greenhill Rd, Unley
[100m west of Bus Stop 1, Unley Rd] Featuring Keynote Speaker
Elvira Poloczanska
Research Scientist CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Research and a panel of representatives from
the local government, business, fishing and environment sectors Background SA’s peak environmental organisation, the Conservation Council of South Australia is developing the green movement’s blueprint for environmental action in SA.
We are analysing South Australian environmental policy in six areas, all in the context of a changing climate. Do you want to hear other views or share your own? For each policy review, we will host a Summit to present our draft findings and listen to the perspectives of people from outside of the environment movement. The findings of all six reviews, incorporating your feedback, will be published in 2009.
