Since 2016, CCN has held regular in-person gatherings where members have shared skills, discussed network priorities, made connections, and decided on the network’s future direction of travel. 

This gathering focused on skill sharing, with CCN members, friends, and other supporting organisations running workshops across a variety of areas, from building your group’s capacity to surveying and monitoring your shore. Above all, it was an invaluable opportunity to meet other community groups working to conserve their coastal and marine areas, as well as celebrate some incredible work and growth of the network over the past year.
