Coast Care is a partnership between communities and local government to protect, enhance and restore the natural coastal environment with a focus on dune systems.

In practice this means planting native dune species, managing dune access, controlling weeds and pest animals, raising awareness and education. Since 1994 about half of the 156km of sandy coastline has been worked on by Coast Care staff and volunteers with considerable success. The programme is funded by the following six agencies: The Department of Conservation, Ōpōtiki, Whakatāne and Western Bay of Plenty District Councils, Tauranga City Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council.

Coast Care Bay of Plenty was formally created in 1994 in response to continuing degradation of natural dune systems (75% of the 12,000 hectares of indigenous dunelands present in the BOP in pre-human times have been lost through land use change and other threats). Dune degradation reduces their ecological value, which is significant because natural dune vegetation and animal communities are nationally threatened. Dune degradation also increases the risk to property and infrastructure from coastal processes and hazards. Finally, dune degradation can reduce the amenity value of beaches.

The programme is community led and joint agency funded to reflect the numerous interests in the coastal environment, and the value placed on beaches by the Bay of Plenty (BOP) community.
The Coast Care programme is delivered across three BOPRC activities – this contract pertains to Coast Care delivery with the Kaituna Integrated Catchment Management Activity in the Kaituna Water Management Area (WMA).
