Tom Hawkins

I am the Coastal Development Officer for my local authority, Canterbury City Council, looking after a section of the North Kent coast.  My background is in marine biology and my job role allows me to deliver marine environmental education and awareness through various projects along our local coast.  I’m a keen water sportsman (surfing/wakeboarding/kitesurfing) and RLSS TA  who basically lives, works and enjoys the coast and marine environment 24/7   As a Rep, I sit on two accredited PFC groups with a third inland group working towards accreditation.  I assist, facilitate and help coordinate all beach clean activities along our coast.
