Such a coastal reserve is one logical conceptual solution. Such a buffer could be resumed or created by nourishment and stabilisation. In the long term nourishment is likely to be required to maintain it with sea level rise. It all comes down to funding. Australia needs inovative approaches plus adequate funding allocated to implement. Already places like Oceanside in California are moving from conventional approaches and looking outside the box with projects such as RE:BEACH

This is the most intelligent approach to climate change and environmental protection I have come across!! Well done Mark! Great initiative. You are clearly highly intelligent, I urge you to forge ahead and drive your solution. Be prepared for much push back. Our governments and systems are sometimes resistant to sensible solutions.

Well said Mark, I very much agree with this article.
Your proposal for a National Coastline Reserve is a forward-thinking approach that not only addresses the challenges of climate change but also emphasizes the importance of proactive, nature-based solutions. A National Coastline Reserve, as proposed by Mark Ellis, would protect coastal biodiversity, provide public access to beaches, and mitigate risks from erosion and sea-level rise. It offers a comprehensive and sustainable solution for communities facing climate-related challenges. I really hope this gains traction.
