Coastal Engineering:
A branch of civil
engineering pertaining to
the study of the action of
the seas on shorelines
and the design of
structures to protect
against this action.

How to engineer a “shore”
thing?
4
Servold 2015
• To achieve, increase, or restore ecosystem
services or ecological improvements?
• To prevent or stop shoreline erosion or
recession?
• Retain sediment fill?
• Permit required it?
• Combination of one or more?
• None of the above?
Deciding you need structures?

Nearshore Structures

“You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it…”
Oyster ….
Shells
Concrete
Rings
Bags
Cages
Balls
Domes
Piles
Pyramids
Castles
What materials will you use for
your structures?
• Offshore breakwater
• Onshore (headland) breakwater
• Emergent or submerged breakwater
• Narrow-crested or broad-crested
• Segmented breakwater field
• Sill
• Reef breakwater
How are you applying nearshore
structures?

What do we really know about the proprietary
technologies in the restoration market today???
What, where, and how much structure will
you need?
