About

The Knysna Basin Project is an NGO based in Knysna, South Africa, focused on coastal system research – particularly how these systems change over time, what actions can be taken to effectively manage and conserve these systems and how communities can and should live within these systems.

Coastal social-ecological systems are challenged by the escalating consequences of population growth, urbanisation and climate change. Addressing these challenges requires informed management and behavioural change. Because they fuel each other, both are required if we are to sustain the flows of benefits we derive from these systems.
