Delegates from the 2016 Netherlands Trade Mission to Australia attended a joint seminar with Australian flood and coastal experts at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science on 3 November.

 

The program included presentations from NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) Principal Flood Specialist Mr Duncan McLuckie, OEH Principal Coastal Specialist Mr Phil Watson, as well as Deltares Senior Advisor in Marine and Coastal Systems, Ms Simone De Kleermaeker. The session was chaired by FMA President Ian Dinham.
