The District currently maintains 90 Federal harbors and can focus significant experience to solve a wide range of complex coastal challenges. Our team of coastal engineers and scientists provide innovative solutions many coastal issues:

• Complex Wave Modeling: State-of-the-art numerical models and 3-D physical models used in solving complex coastal problems.
• Harbor Circulation Modeling and Design: Provide in-depth analyses using computer and physical modeling to improve harbor performance.
• Coastal Data Collection: Numerous data-sets are collected, ranging from survey data to satellite imagery to support decision making on coastal issues.
• Recession Rate Analyses: Accurate shoreline change rates covering large stretches of shoreline are important in establishing setback distances for environmentally safe construction.
• Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material: Utilizing a "system-based approach", dredged sediment are managed to gain maximum benefit from limited supplies to help maintain healthy beaches.
