What’s Special About ESA’s Coastal Engineering Group

Our Coastal Engineering team is leading

efforts throughout the West and Gulf Coasts to understand the increasing vulnerability of our shores, infrastructure, and communities and working to develop adaptation strategies and sound land use planning and policy. ESA has particular expertise in sea-level rise evaluation, flood hazard and erosion risk assessment and management, and nature-based adaptation solutions. We integrate traditional engineering expertise with an understanding of natural hydrologic processes to develop innovative, creative, and sustainable green and grey solutions.

We are implementing innovative and creative Living Shoreline and nature-based sea level rise adaptation projects throughout the West and Gulf coasts, including gravel beaches, horizontal levees, oyster reefs, and marsh creation with reused dredged sediments. We have designed some of the most notable managed shoreline retreat projects that reduce coastal hazards while increasing recreational opportunities, including Birch Bay and Lowman Beach in the Northwest, and Surfer’s Point and San Francisco’s Ocean Beach in California. Along the Gulf of Mexico, we have worked with the Gulf States, counties, parishes, and federal agencies to plan and prioritize coastal restoration projects funded by the RESTORE Act. We also specialize in coastal lagoons and have developed management and enhancement plans for dozens of lagoons throughout the West Coast.

The coastal engineering group is part of our 80-person Environmental Hydrology & Design practice, which includes civil and coastal engineers, hydrologists, hydrographers, geomorphologists and landscape architects. Much of our work is oriented toward the restoration of habitat and ecosystem function, often as part of multi-benefit flood management and/or recreation projects. As a highly-integrated team, we value creative thinking, teamwork, and a passion for protecting our fragile yet precious creeks, rivers, wetlands, and coasts.
