The Australasian Coasts and Ports Conference is the pre-eminent forum in the Australasian region for industry professionals from all disciplines to join together and discuss issues related to our coasts and ports.

This biennial conference series represents an amalgamation of the Australasian Coastal and Ocean Engineering, Australasian Ports and Harbour and New Zealand Coastal Society conferences. It will bring together engineers, planners, researchers and all those working together on coastal and port matters in this part of the world.

In 2009 the conference will be held for the first time in Wellington, at Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand, from 16–18 September 2009. The three day conference programme will embrace discussions around the challenges of environmental change, innovations in maritime industries and policy and planning for dynamic environments. Conference sessions will be complemented with field trips, an Industry Exhibiton and will feature a Welcome Reception and Exhibition Opening on Tuesday 15 September and a Gala Dinner on the following night for the 300 national and international delegates to enjoy some of Wellington's world-renowned hospitality.
