At the Australian Coastal Conservation Alliance (ACCA), our mission is more than words—it’s a commitment to action, collaboration, and long-term change. Every campaign we launch, every school we visit, and every beach we clean is driven by a unified purpose: to protect Australia’s coastlines for future generations.
Environmental Stewardship
We take responsibility for safeguarding Australia’s marine and coastal environments. We act urgently, ethically, and sustainably in the face of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.
Community Empowerment
We believe that lasting conservation starts with local people. We amplify grassroots voices, support volunteer-led action, and ensure all Australians have the tools and knowledge to protect their coastal regions.
Collaboration Over Competition
We work side-by-side with Indigenous communities, schools, scientists, local councils, and other nonprofits. Through shared knowledge and mutual respect, we achieve more together than alone.
Education for Change
Informed communities create stronger coastlines. We invest in education programs that foster ocean literacy, environmental responsibility, and a new generation of conservation leaders.
Science-Led, People-Centered
Our programs are grounded in science but guided by community. We bridge research and real-world action—turning data into tangible results for marine health and coastal resilience.
Transparency and Integrity
We hold ourselves accountable to our members, our partners, and the public. From how we manage donations to how we measure impact, we operate with openness and honesty.
We imagine a future where every Australian understands their connection to the coast and feels empowered to protect it.
