Interested in coastal technology projects that CICEET is sponsoring near you? Spring 2009 progress reports for active projects, and final reports for completed projects, have been posted online. These projects are dedicated to developing tools that help coastal communities be more resilient in the face of increasing development and climate change. The focus areas include improved tools for land use planning, habitat restoration and protection, and water quality monitoring. These reports, submitted by the projects' investigators, detail their progress in gathering data, meeting research objectives, reaching out to coastal management, and soliciting feedback from potential end users. Final reports are available by PDF only.
