Preserving and enhancing coastal ecosystem habitat to support the survival of shorelines and native plant and animal communities

Our engineers and scientists assess, design, and perform cost-benefit analyses for standalone coastal restoration projects or as mitigation for other projects that cause unavoidable impacts. INTERA has modeled thousands of miles of open and interior shorelines to gain an understanding of predominant forces at the interface of land and water. In turn, this understanding proves critical to the potential success of restoration projects. We work with project stakeholders to minimize impacts to sensitive natural resources and mitigate unavoidable effects, as well as assess the environmental consequences of anthropogenic effects on the natural environment. A select list of our coastal management services is below.

• hydrodynamic and wave modeling
• water quality modeling
• shoreline restoration design
• environmental permitting
• FEMA regulatory compliance
