Clean Coastal Catchments Research Project
The Clean Coastal Catchments (CCC) Research project works with growers to keep sediment and nutrients on farm and out of coastal waterways while supporting profitable and sustainable agriculture.
The CCC Research project is funded through the NSW Government’s Marine Estate Management Strategy (MEMS) to improve water quality for our ocean, estuaries, and coastal wetlands.
We are working with agricultural industries in key coastal areas to actively manage issues associated with production and land management that can damage the marine estate.
Better management of fertiliser and water on farm will assist industry to be more productive, profitable and environmentally sustainable, while reducing negative impacts on coastal creeks and rivers and sensitive marine areas.
The CCC Research project works in collaboration with the CCC On-Ground project delivered by Local Land Services, and the CCC Monitoring project delivered by the DCCEEW Biodiversity Conservation and Science division. CCC Research, CCC On-Ground and CCC Monitoring are all funded under the Marine Estate Management Strategy (MEMS) Water Quality and Litter Initiative
