The Moving Shoreline Project

The beach is always changing. We give coastal residents and visitors the training and tools to track beach changes on their own. Their efforts contribute critical data to our efforts to preserve beaches.

Topographic Beach Surveys

We teach you how to measure vertical changes in the beach and document what you learned. Your data feeds directly into our Structure from Motion (SfM) monitoring program so that we always know where the beach is growing or shrinking.

Shoreline Change Monitoring

Walk to a stunning beach vista, snap a photo, track shoreline change. With CoastSnap, your photos help us track how the shoreline grows or shrinks over time.

Sand Grain Surveys

Big sand sticks around. Little sand disappears. With SandSnap, your walk on the beach becomes critical data about the future of your beach.
