A free quarterly lifestyle publication produced in the Illawarra, Coal Coast magazine keeps readers informed of local events and turns the spotlight on the region's many talents.
We feel luckier than ever to live in this water wonderland we call home. But while we all love a summer beside the seaside, there’s no sugar-coating the fact that, due to plastic pollution and human impact, our oceans are under threat, and it’s a topic we’re pretty passionate about here at Coal Coast Mag. We need to protect the things we love. Simple. So in this issue, the wonderful folk from Take 3 for the Sea, a charity conservation initiative, offer up some straightforward solutions, so we can all do our bit to help (p22-23).
Local photographer, Warren Keelan, who shot our magic cover – is a long-time ambassador for Take 3 for the Sea, and his admiration for the ocean is evident in all he does. What a pleasure it was to chat to Warren about creation and conservation, plus showcase more of his wonderful work (p18-20).
