Welcome to CSMWs website! Our taskforce is pursuing beneficial reuse of sediment resources on a regional scale to address coastal erosion and protect, restore and enhance our coastal habitats. Information on the various coastal sediment-related programs and projects of CSMW member agencies is provided, as well as meeting records and a library containing relevant documents.
We are developing a coastal "Sediment Master Plan" (SMP) to guide our efforts in addressing the political, regulatory, environmental, educational and process-related issues associated with implementing Regional Sediment Management (RSM). The SMP Status Report 2006, the first in a series of biannual reports to the public, identifies progress to date and planned future activities and priorities; tools and educational documents developed by CSMW to address implementation issues are available through hyperlinks to your right. The physical setting for coastal sediment, related problems and our proposed road to solutions are discussed in the overview, "Why a SMP is needed."
We are currently working with various regional entities to implement RSM within their jurisdictional area through Coastal RSM Plans. These Plans will specify how governance, outreach and technical approaches can support reuse of sediment resources within and throughout that region without causing environmental degradation or public nuisance.
The SMP Outreach program has included workshops, development of and mailings to our Public Outreach Contact List, informational documents and brochures. Outreach efforts are also part of the Coastal RSM Plan development. Comments received to date from our public outreach activities can be viewed by workshop/region location.
We encourage you to contact us and comment on our programs and on this website. Please direct technical issues to the CSMW Project Manager. Policy or procedure related questions can be directed to the CSMW co-chairs. We also have a questionnaire that may assist in identifying your concerns. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please fill out the New Contact form.
