I provide unbiased, science-based technical assistance on environmentally sound shoreline management alternatives to private property owners and public land management agencies who are experiencing erosion on tidal shorelines or non-tidal streambanks and impoundments. I also provide technical assistance to conservation partners, local governments, and environmental regulatory state and federal agencies. I conduct on-site field investigation and analysis of erosion concerns, issue written advisory reports with recommended solutions, review engineering designs and construction plans, conduct on-site construction inspections, and provide guidance on available financial incentive programs for living shorelines. I translate the technical aspects of ecosystem services valuation to property owners to aid them in making decisions on shoreline management alternatives.
