Leading Coastal Resilience Since 1989
International Coastal Management was founded with a clear mission: to protect and enhance the world’s coastlines through innovative, sustainable solutions.
Our journey began on the Gold Coast, Australia, where our founder, Angus Jackson, played a pivotal role in developing world-first coastal resilience strategies.
From terminal seawalls and sand nourishment to artificial reefs and nature-based solutions, we’ve helped shape the future of coastal protection, engineering, and climate adaptation.
