Description:

The Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM) has a formal mission to support informed decision-making on resource management issues at all levels of government, including private and corporate citizens. To fulfill this mission, the Center undertakes research, provides advisory service in wetlands management, and conducts outreach education. Read about all of CCRM's actionable science efforts in our 2019 Annual Report (pdf) In the NewsWHAT DRIVES PROPERTY OWNERS TO MODIFY THEIR SHORELINES? Through a mail survey of property owners in this case study of Gloucester County, Virginia, Sarah Stafford and Amanda Guthrie (CCRM PhD student) have an answer to this question. Find out in their recently published research paper ... More...WEBINAR SERIES: If you weren't able to join us for CCRM's Shoreline Management webinar series - each one focusing on a different topic: Shoreline Decision Support Tools, Shoreline Law Policy, and Living Shorelines Performance - you can see the recordings, presentations, and links here ... More...NEW ARTICLE: A Multi-Scale Approach for Simulating Tidal Marsh Evolution - This study by Dr. Karinna Nunez, presents an innovative Tidal Marsh Model (TMM) that evaluates the impacts of sea-level rise and human stressors on tidal marsh habitats. The TMM generates high-resolution outputs about tidal marsh changes, which can be used by coastal planners to more accurately manage these valuable habitats and their ecological services. More...NORTHERN NECK MASTER GARDENERS: Scientists at CCRM have been working for years with the Northern Neck Master Gardeners on their shoreline evaluation program. Karen Duhring is the lead at CCRM for training and advisory support. This terrific program was highlighted in the latest issue of Virginia Tech's - CALS magazine. More...VIDEO: BIODEGRADABLE NETTING. Join Dr. Kirk Havens as he gets all tangled up in a light-hearted description of the serious problems posed by plastics in the environment, and explains how his collaborative efforts to develop biodegradable netting could benefit wildlife and help reduce emissions of methane—a potent greenhouse gas More...VIDEO: VIMS emeritus professor Carl Hershner helps us celebrate Earth Day 2020 and its theme of climate action by sharing two cutting-edge tools developed by scientists in the Center for Coastal Resources Management at VIMS to predict sea level—both during the next 36-hours and the next 80 years to the turn of the century. These tools found on ADAPTVA.org benefit a wide range of users, from waterfront homeowners to first responders, watermen, boaters, and planners at the local and state level. More...NEW TOOL: Have erosion on your shoreline, but don't know what to do? This interactive decision support tool combines the utility and ease of the original Decision Trees, the logic of the comprehensive Shoreline Management Model, and the power of the internet to guide the user to a shoreline management alternative that is consistent with the Commonwealth’s preference for a living shoreline. Try it out here More...SHORELINE MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK: A new on-line digital resource has been made available to support tidal shoreline decision-making. It contains information on jurisdictions, permits, being on a wetlands board, and much more. The new handbook has replaced the Wetland Management Handbook, a hard copy product that was produced about 30 years ago! More...CCRM PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS: Peer-reviewed journal articles were recently added to the Center's Publications collection. These high-quality research manuscripts cover a variety of coastal topics, including recent studies on boat wake impacts, dynamic design for living shorelines, impacts of derelict crab pots, citizen science, hydrodynamic modeling studies, and more. Each article was reviewed by other experts in the same field for validity and suitability before they could be published. More...
