Lydia Gibson (WWF-Australia’s Policy Manager – Tropical Marine Flagship Species) was part of the Queensland team that won this award in late July for the International Climate Change Competition. The winning project was called “SEA LIFE”. The competition asked for creative design responses for adaption to Sea Level Rise for Sydney Harbour. It allowed entrants to work at any scale from site specific local plans to whole harbour or whole catchment strategies. The project “SEA-LIFE” was based on creating adaptive strategies for Sydney Harbour swimming beaches in recognition of their important social, cultural and ecological values. Nice one Lydia.
