Coastal Zone Management Plan

The Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) is a 10-year strategic plan developed to manage the Richmond River Estuary, stretching over 90km from its tidal limit near Boatharbour to its mouth.

The estuary is a valuable resource for the community, but it is also prone to human-induced impacts.

The CZMP was formulated to balance ecological sustainability with recreational and commercial activities in the region.
