On behalf of your hosts, Engineers Australia, IPENZ (NZ Coastal Society), PIANC (Australia) and the local organising committee, I invite you to attend Coasts and Ports 2007 to be held from the 18th to 20th July 2007 in Melbourne, Australia.

Coasts and Ports 2007 represents an amalgamation of the 18th Australasian Coastal and Ocean Engineering and 11th Australasian Ports and Harbour conferences, with the Coasts and Ports conference series now the pre-eminent series for coastal and port professionals in the Australasian region.

Coasts and Ports 2007 will bring together engineers, planners, researchers and others working in disciplines relating to coastal and port matters, to engage in discussions currently facing this community.

The scope of Coasts and Ports 2007, with its three-day technical program, will range from technological advances and emerging environmental issues to a review of policy and planning experience with an immediate relevance to working, living, playing and preserving the coast and port infrastructure.

The conference will be held at the Crown Promenade, situated in the heart of vibrant Melbourne. Its location will provide you with ample opportunity to sample what this wonderful city has to offer.

Join us in Melbourne to learn, share your experience and form new partnerships.
