ABOUT US

International Coastal Management (ICM) has led innovative coastal resilience and blue economy projects globally since 1989, combining cutting-edge, cost-effective design with a commitment to environmental sustainability.

ICM's history is marked by significant contributions to research and development within the field. Our team has written over 100 technical papers and presented at international conferences, demonstrating our thought leadership and commitment to advancing coastal engineering practices.

Our innovative approach to problem-solving ensures that we not only meet but exceed client expectations by offering practical, environmentally conscious solutions that adapt with technological advancements.

Operating from our headquarters in Queensland, Australia, we have expanded our reach to cover critical regions including the Pacific, Americas Middle East, and the Caribbean.

Our hands-on commitment to research—whether diving on some of the world's most pristine reefs or surfing its most challenging waves—reflects our dedication to understanding and preserving the marine environment.

At ICM, we are driven by a mission to enhance coastal resilience, promote sustainable development within the blue economy, and harness the power of nature-based solutions to protect and revitalize our coastlines.

With decades of experience and a relentless pursuit of excellence, International Coastal Management stands as a leader in shaping a resilient and sustainable future for our world's coastal regions
