Green Drinks Tairāwhiti - What's happening to our coastlines and beaches?

Green Drinks Topic: What's happening to our coastlines and beaches?

Date: Friday 12th Sept 2025 3pm - 430pm

Where: Tahu

Tairāwhiti Environment Centre in partnership with MyImprint, Tahu and The Chamber of Commerce presents Green Drinks. A monthly networking event where we discuss sustainability topics.

This month we are joined by Sam Morgan, Technical Principal - Coastal Adaptation at WSP, to talk about the impacts of climate change on Tairāwhiti beaches and coastlines. He will discuss the positive and negative impacts (e.g., erosion) that are affecting your local surf break, beachfront, or coastline. A must-hear for businesses that rely on tourism or are operating on the coastline, and community members who actively engage with our beaches and ocean. 

This is your time to understand the future impacts on our coastlines, so bring your questions

After, there will be a 15-minute workshop to identify some challenges and solutions for your business/our region around this topic.

Entry is free and includes snacks. Please RSVP on Humanitix for catering purposes

We look forward to seeing you there!
