Subscribers who paid for access to articles in previous editions of The CalCoast™ WAVE will no longer be charged a subscription fee to access articles we post from week-to-week. Anyone who paid for a year-long subscription will receive pro-rated refunds.

Wheeler North Reef Expansion Project Draft Subsequent EIR is available for public comment
Coastal engineering is the cornerstone of shoreline management in many coastal states and Florida may well lead the way. In the "fluid" environment of the American shoreline, sustaining sandy shorelines or rebuilding marshes is a difficult and controversial challenge. The right approach is rarely obvious or settled. Thankfully, ASPN has a show dedicated to the profession and a top-notch host to walk you through it all. Join Peter and Tyler to welcome to ASPN Michael Poff, host of the Podcast for Building Beaches Better (P4B^3). Michael is a great pro, having worked on the American shoreline for more than 25 years and leads Coastal Engineering Consultants out of Naples, Florida. When it comes to coastal engineering, he knows the ropes. Click
