Cambridge Coastcare
Cambridge Coastcare began in March 1999 with its incorporation and with the formation of a committee of management. The idea came from the Town of Cambridge in 1998 when they expressed an interest in establishing a Coastcare organization to assist with the managing, monitoring and protection of the environment and recreational values of the coastline in the Town. Since we have been incorporated we have managed to acquire around $388,000 in grant monies from various sources. The Group has some 65 members including some 20 family memberships.
