Creating Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

At International Coastal Management (ICM), we’re coastal specialists with over 40 years of experience delivering tailored, innovative solutions that protect shorelines, restore ecosystems, and build resilient waterfronts.

 

Unlike generalist firms, we focus solely on coastal and marine engineering, with 1,200+ successful projects worldwide, helping communities, governments, and businesses safeguard their coastlines for future generations.

"The famous beaches of the Gold Coast are one of the city's greatest assets and require considerable management expertise and innovation to maintain their pristine condition and sustainability (…) Major beach nourishment works and the construction of an artificial reef (…) was undertaken by Council utilising the services of International Coastal Management.

 

The success of the NGBPS after five years of operational service is testimony to the value and benefit of this evolving coastal solution technology."
