The Capitol Beach explains the Joint Policy on Beach and Inlet Management put out by Coastal States Organization (CSO) and American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA). Host Derek Brockbank bridges his past and present organizations with guests, Tony Pratt, President of ASBPA, and Rachel Keylon, Federal Affairs Director of CSO, to discuss needed federal policies on sediment management, permitting, funding, development, and science and research. This podcast is a compilation of the 5 individual episodes on each topic. Listen to this pod to get the full policy, or select one topic to hear just that.

“Beach and inlet management must be based on the best available science. Ensuring high quality coastal data acquisition, research, modeling, and mapping that is usable by coastal managers is essential for coastal states and communities to make timely and risk-informed decisions.” The fifth of a five part series reviewing coastal policies essential for improving beach and inlet management, taken from American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) and Coastal States Organization’s (CSO) new “Joint Policy.” Derek Brockbank is joined by Rachel Keylon, CSO Federal Affairs Director, and Tony Pratt, ASBPA President. Be sure to listen to the other episodes on Sediment Management, Permitting, Funding, and Shoreline Development for a comprehensive review of what Congress and the Administration need to do to improve resilience for coastal beaches and inlets.

“Development along the coastlines needs to change. Coastal property and infrastructure are threatened by sea level rise, lake level change, and increasing coastal storm intensity, which also exacerbate on-going challenges of coastal erosion and inundation. Coastal states and communities need policies and procedures to ensure beaches and inlets can migrate and adapt to changing coastlines to support the range of uses in the coastal zone.” The fourth of a five part series reviewing coastal policies essential for improving beach and inlet management, taken from American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) and Coastal States Organization’s (CSO) new “Joint Policy.” Derek Brockbank is joined by Rachel Keylon, CSO Federal Affairs Director, and Tony Pratt, ASBPA President. Be sure to listen to the other episodes on Sediment Management, Permitting, Funding, and Research for a comprehensive review of what Congress and the Administration need to do to improve resilience for coastal beaches and inlets.

On The Capitol Beach, Derek Brockbank speaks with representatives from the US Army Corps of Engineers, US EPA, the State of Washington and the State of Oregon – just a few of the many members of the Lower Columbia Solutions Group, who won this year’s Robert Wiegel Coastal Project award from the ASBPA for the ongoing sediment management project at the mouth of the Columbia River. This “lifetime achievement award” for coastal project was presented for a series of interconnected projects that maximize the beneficial use of sediment dredged from the Federal Navigation Channel in the Columbia River. These projects include, among others, nearshore thin layer placement in multiple sites to provide sediment to naturally feed the adjacent beaches, while protecting sensitive habitat. Perhaps more impressive than the innovative projects, is that collaborative process of agency and stakeholder engagement that led to them and the robust monitoring and scientific research that ensures their effectiveness. This is a story of government and community stakeholders working together to ensure a healthy coastline that works for (nearly) everyone!

On this episode, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham have a packed show beginning with Derek Brockbank, Executive Director of the American Shoreline and Beach Preservation Association to preview the upcoming ASBPA virtual National Conference. Then 2020 Morrough P. O’Brien Award winner Joan Pope joins the show to talk about her legendary career with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, trends in the field of coastal engineering, and where she sees the future going. It's a can't miss episode this week on ASPN!

The 2020 National Coastal Summit "2020 Vision for our Coast: People. Policies. Practices" was held as a webinar, due to coronavirus, but still brought together coastal insiders from federal agencies and Capitol Hill, as well as state and local officials, to share insights on coastal policies and practice. In this podcast, Derek is joined by Coastal Summit attendees - Lynette Cardoch with Moffatt & Nichol, Dan Adams with the City of Virginia Beach, and Brian Caufield with CDM Smith - to recap the Summit and share highlights. From local stories of successful beach restoration by the 2019 "Best Restored Beach" winners to a briefing from six staffers on different congressional committees with coastal oversight, this Coastal Summit truly exemplified the need to bridge local implementation with federal policy. This podcast is a fun, quick recap of one of DC's most in-depth coastal policy meetings, and worth a listen, whether you attended the summit and want to hear a fresh perspective, or missed it but want to get a taste of what was presented.

Peter and Tyler are joined by Derek Brockbank (Executive Director of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association and host of the Capitol Beach podcast), Shannon Cunniff (recently retired from the Environmental Defense Fund and board member of ASBPA) and Annie Mercer (ASPBA Fellow) to discuss the recently released white paper titled "Local Funding for Coastal Projects: An Overview of Practices, Policies, and Considerations."
