National Regional Sediment Management ProgramRSM Nearshore Berm Workshop
|
|---|
| The Regional Sediment Management and Coastal Inlet Research Programs would like you to join us for a Nearshore Berm workshop. The workshop will facilitate discussion of current research and field needs in the future. Project challenges (Stakeholder concerns, operational, engineering, ecological, etc.) will be identified, and future Statements of Need will be created to address these challenges. Metrics for success and potential ways to quantify benefits will also be discussed. Overall, the objective of the workshop will be to identify District, Resource Agency, and Stakeholder concerns for these types of projects, and propose future research to address these challenges. |
