After the repeated success of these meetings, CERF moved the ICS to the international scene holding these conferences in conjunction with local sponsors in Australia, Brazil, Iceland, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Poland and Portugal. The ICS brings together delegates from all over the world to collaborate and discuss the most current coastal research studies and projects. The ICS 2014, which is scheduled to be held from April 13–17 in Durban, South Africa, will be a grand celebration of CERF and the JCR, marking the 30th Anniversary for both.
