Science

We live in a world where science and technology influence every aspect of our daily lives and lives on the coast are no different.  Be it a better understanding of natural phenomena, technology to harness energy from waves and tides, changes in the communication of coastal threats or more efficient transportation methods, coastlines are inhabitable (and sometimes more enjoyable) because science and technology allow us to appreciate these environments in ways heretofore unheard of.  But these changes come with human faces and affect the coast in dramatic ways, it behooves us as coastal dwellers to stay informed about how changes in the science of coasts affect our everyday lives.
