Funding and Contributors

NZCoast was developed as part of the “Reducing Impact of weather related hazards” programme and funded by FRST under contract C01X0401.

 

The Coastal Explorer tool is based on NIWA's Water Resources Explorer New Zealand (WRENZ), which was developed by Ude Shankar using FRST Capability Funding.

 

There has also been generous inputs from regional council staff and local experts, university staff and consultants to build the database. Collaboration with the University of Sydney has contributed to the development of the classification of beach systems for New Zealand. Beach hazard and safety rating from New Zealand beaches has been developed in association with Surf Life Saving New Zealand.
