Carolina coastline stands up to Florence

September 27, 2018asbpa_edbeach nourishment, Coastal Hazards, Dunes, Hurricane, Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Sandy, hurricanes, Resilience, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Despite the fury Hurricane Florence unleashed along the coastline of the Carolinas, areas with wide sandy beaches and high dunes fared well in the face of an unprecedented onslaught of storm surge and waves. Although the coastline suffered significant erosion, restored beaches accomplished their design purpose of protecting upland properties and communities. While communities are…

Water Bill agreement reached in House & Senate

September 13, 2018asbpa_ed1 commentArmy Corps, Beneficial Use, coastal infrastructure, Congress, Resilience, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, WRDA

On September 10, House and Senate released America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, which includes 4 titles related to water infrastructure. The first title is, essentially, a water resources development act (WRDA) that includes a number of provisions ASBPA supports (the remaining titles address clean drinking water, hydropower, and stormwater infrastructure financing, none of which ASBPA has…

Natural infrastructure focus of coastal journal

Call them what you want — living shorelines, natural infrastructure, green infrastructure, natural and nature-based features — interest is growing in looking at alternatives to traditional shoreline armoring and ways to more naturally mitigate shoreline erosion. More and more communities see that they derive multiple benefits from restoring natural infrastructure. Healthy coastal habitats reduce the…

Lessons from a record storm season

December 12, 2017asbpa_web2017, beaches, Dunes, flooding, Florida, Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, hurricanes, Puerto Rico, Resilience, storm surge, Texas

As a record-setting hurricane season retreats from memory, what lessons do coastal communities need to hold on to as they prepare for future years? Building higher, stronger and further back always pays off. While there’s not much you can do in the face of a landfalling Category 4 hurricane, your best chances for coastal survival…

What federal hurricane supplemental appropriations should include for coasts

October 2, 2017asbpa_edAppropriations, coastal infrastructure, coastal research, Congress, Hurricane, hurricanes, Resilience, USACE

As the United States weathers our worst hurricane season in years, and communities in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Island and the Atlantic seaboard try to recover, ASBPA is working to ensure that beaches, dunes, wetlands and coastal resilience are included in whatever emergency funding bill Congress develops. Most of the destruction from Hurricanes…

Hurricane recovery should prioritize resilience, natural infrastructure

September 15, 2017asbpa_edCoastal Hazards, coastal infrastructure, Hurricane, Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Sandy, Resilience

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma were, and continue to be, life-changing events for millions of Americans. These coastal storms brought devastation far beyond waterfront homes, reminding us that the coastal flood zone can range miles inland. As communities throughout the impacted coastal zone begin to recover and rebuild, their focus should be on building back better…

Congress, take care of our coasts!

July 25, 2017asbpa_webArmy Corps, coastal infrastructure, coastal research, Congress, data acquisition, infrastructure, jobs, Resilience

While the near-daily DC dramas may provide entertainment to some and fund-raising fodder for others, we should not be distracted by these diversions into forgetting what Washington is really about: Running the federal government, funding its operations and moving forward on the priorities of the people who put them into office. In the case of…

Is your community really ready for hurricane season?

July 11, 2017asbpa_webbeaches, hurricanes, mitigation, National Hurricane Center, preparedness, Resilience, storms, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE

As anyone within 50 miles of a storm-prone coast surely knows, June 1 is the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. But as we head further into July towards the heart of the season in August and September, chances that a storm might spin up in the warming waters increases. Depending on how recently a…

Addressing climate change in your own back yard

June 13, 2017asbpa_webbeach management, climate change, Resilience, sea level rise, vulnerability

Much has been said about recent responses to the issue of climate change, so there’s no need to add to that conversation. However, coastal professionals and residents understand that, ultimately, sea level change and other consequences of a warming climate are not political realities, but scientific ones. More important, they are personal realities… and doing…
