Coasts & Estuaries
The world’s coastlines are facing unprecedented pressures due to the accelerating impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels, more frequent and intense storms, and rapid coastal erosion are reshaping shorelines and threatening both vulnerable ecosystems and critical human infrastructure. These evolving challenges demand integrated and science-based solutions. At IMDC, we combine advanced scientific understanding with proven engineering expertise to design and implement sustainable, data-driven strategies for coastal and estuarine management. Our work focuses on enhancing resilience, protecting communities and assets, and preserving natural coastal dynamics through innovative modeling, monitoring, and adaptive planning tailored to site-specific conditions.
