Coastal management
Priority coastal areas for nature
The Eyre Peninsula Coastal Action Plan is a detailed conservation study and action plan which covers 2,475km of coastline – nearly half the length of South Australia’s coast - from Two Hummocks Point north of Whyalla to the eastern boundary of the Wahgunyah Conservation Park in the Far West. It provides baseline information for the protection and management of the coast and outlines the actions required.

Marine debris/rubbish
The Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board and National Parks and Wildlife Service SA frequently receive enquiries from the community regarding marine debris and inappropriate vehicle use on beaches.
With regards to marine debris we support individuals and community groups in taking self-lead steps to looking after priority coastal areas on Eyre Peninsula.
We consult regularly with various land and coastcare groups, as well as Friends of Parks volunteers. We encourage community members to contact us to discuss coastal management issues concerning them. Each year we put out for expressions of interest to Eyre Peninsula community groups for funding to complete landscape projects which can include coastal protection works.
A Coastal Vehicle Access Decision Making Framework also provides local councils with clear recommendations, a suite of management options and consistent guidelines for the protection and use of coastal natural resource assets.
Our Coastal Action Plan identifies priority sites and actions required. This is used to guide the region's investment into protecting our coastal environment.
