Choosing the Australian Coastal Conservation Alliance (ACCA) means aligning with a national leader in coastal protection, marine education, and environmental advocacy. We’re not just another nonprofit—we’re a movement of scientists, students, volunteers, and communities working together to ensure the long-term health of Australia’s most vulnerable coastal ecosystems.
Whether you're looking to donate, partner, volunteer, or teach, here’s why thousands of Australians choose ACCA as their go-to coastal conservation organisation.
From removing over 150 tonnes of marine debris to funding over 30 major marine research projects, ACCA’s results speak for themselves. Every initiative is tracked, evaluated, and reported so you can see the difference your support makes—on the ground and in the ocean.
As a not-for-profit, we reinvest 100% of our resources into programs that matter—education, cleanups, advocacy, and community partnerships. Our work is volunteer-led, locally rooted, and nationally supported by members who care.
Through our acclaimed Coastal Classrooms program, we’ve engaged over 20,000 students with real-world environmental science. We don’t just teach about the coast—we connect young people to it through fieldwork, citizen science, and place-based learning.
ACCA works closely with policymakers to shape environmental legislation that protects marine biodiversity and coastal resilience. Our science-led, community-informed advocacy ensures coastal voices are heard at every level—from local councils to Parliament.
