TenCate is a company that has installed underwater stabilizer systems using
geotextiles for a number of years. This technology is currently being
evaluated as one of the methods to address our needs. For further
information their website is a very good source of information.
www.geotube.com New York Times Article - Next Victim of Warming: The Beaches "...When scientists consider the possible effects of global warming, there is a lot they don't know. But they can say one thing for sure: sea levels will rise." Army Corp of Engineers: "...this program is an applied research effort by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Monitored by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), its objectives are to provide state-of-the-art coastal shoreline protection. Its emphasis is on evaluation of innovative or nontraditional approaches to help prevent coastal erosion and to improve shoreline sediment retention." http://chl.erdc.usace.army.mil/CHL.aspx?p=s&a=PROGRAMS;3 The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO.org) assesses the impact of coastal structures: "Beaches are constantly changing formations. They change over hourly, daily and yearly time-periods. Any sea defences built on or near the beach will influence the natural processes. Sea defences may result in ..." http://www.unesco.org/csi/pub/source/ero18.htm Duke University's Program for the study of developed shorelines: Description of alternative devices for shoreline stabilization: http://www.env.duke.edu/psds/Stabilization/Categories.htm http://www.env.duke.edu/psds/index.html |

among local beach protection projects and the Army Corps of Engineers, may
be calming the waters." |
