SUMMARY:Coasts and Ports 2021/2022\, held online  11 -13 April 2022
DESCRIPTION:Kei te rangatira\, tēnā koutou.\nA Message from Coasts & Ports 2021 Co-Chairs\nCoasts & Ports 2021 11th to 13th April 2022 \nAs a result of the ongoing challenges in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we have made the difficult decision to make the upcoming Australasian Coasts & Ports 2021 Conference a fully virtual event. \n\n\n\nThe health and wellbeing of all conference participants has always been our utmost priority and given the current situation and advice from health authorities and New Zealand’s shift into ‘red’ alert\, it is not possible to deliver a large-scale in-person event this year. \nWhile it is disappointing to not be able to gather in person at Te Pae\, Christchurch as originally planned\, we are working extremely hard to deliver a unique conference experience for all participants. The conference will be hosted on a premium interactive platform that provides a live online and on-demand experience with rich interactive content. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference will take place online 11-13 April 2022\, however the conference program may look slightly different to what was originally intended.  The virtual program will provide: \n\nAccess to over 150 presentations for the duration of the conference including:\n\nAdditional international keynote speakers\nExpert Panel sessions with knowledgeable and engaging panellists\nA special session on the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption and tsunami\n\n\nThe opportunity to participate in live Q&As with presenters\nNetworking opportunities with other delegates\, speakers and industry\nVirtual activities within the conference platform\nAccess to conference content for on demand viewing (up to 3 months post conference)\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you online. \nNgā manaakitanga. \nDeirdre Hart and Tom Shand\nConference Co-chairs \n\n\n\n

Marine Renewable Energies (MRE)\, i.e. tidal\, marine currents and wave energy\, could become an additional solution for the future Australian renewable mix. \nAustralia’s coasts are home to the world’s best wave energy resource in the south\, while the north\, with its large tidal ranges\, is ideal for the implementation of tidal energy projects. MRE have seen major developments in Australia in the last two years\, both in the research sphere and industry-led projects. \nIn 2022 the federal government declared Australia’s first offshore wind zones\, giving developers the green light to proceed with planning and consultation for wind farm projects. \nThis seminar will provide\, insightful industry knowledge from a consulting perspective. \n
