Course Title: Coastal Erosion and Living Shorelines: Focusing on the Southeastern United States

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: Coastal development in the southeastern United States faces the threats of rising sea levels and severe storm events, both of which are exacerbated by climate change. Design professionals need to know how to control coastal erosion and create living shorelines to protect nearby buildings, infrastructure and users.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to understand the challenges of coastal development along the southeastern coast, including sea level rise, and review the lessons and practices of the past.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to participate in a live design exercise; attendees are presented with a coastal erosion control problem and are asked to submit a draft recommended solution. The presenter will review the submitted recommendations, discuss them, and reveal the solution that was actually implemented at the site.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to review the traditional practices of controlling coastal erosion, including seawalls, breakwaters, curtain walls, jetties, bulkheads and revetments.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to adopt living shoreline technologies and best management practices, including sills, oyster reefs, marine gabions, shell bags and more.
