Engineers across all disciplines: civil, environmental, etc., play a critical role in helping our communities become more resilient to current and future coastal hazards. However, the highly specialized and technical nature of their work means that they are often not as engaged as they could or should be in coastal management decisions. The goal was to identify and explore opportunities to increase this engagement, with a focus on a new coastal decision-making product from NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management.
