Welcome!

. . . and thank you in advance for your patience as we strive to make Coastopolis.com the web's foremost web portal on coastal community, coastal planning, coastal development and coastal conservation.

We share your passion for coasts and beaches, but realize that many of our coastal resources are under great threat. Our goal is to provide coastal residents, managers and developers with a place to get the latest in news and information, as well as provide tools for better communication and understanding. Coastopolis.com hopes to foster more sustainable decisions with how we use our nation's coasts and wetlands.

While the site is still very much a work in progress, feel free to start looking around and send us your comments and suggestions on how we can make Coastopolis.com a better resource for you.

Sincerely,

Coastopolis team

“To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feelthe breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.” - Rachel Carlson
