About us
The Coastal Zone Foundation (CZF) formed in 1984 with the purpose of advancing scientific and related engineering and planning knowledge. CZF has since identified the need to have a diversified knowledge base that spans many fields in the coastal zone and the need to define the body of knowledge that reflects best practices for coastal practitioners. Today, CZF is continuing a tradition of encouraging rigorous research and continued collaboration to nurture, protect and manage the coastal zone by developing and implementing a Certified Coastal Practitioner (CCP) program. The CCP program will provide coastal professionals from government, consulting and academia a series of short courses structured to expand and grow their knowledge base while enhancing their own collaborations with other coastal professionals. The CCP program: - defines the body of knowledge which reflects best practices for coastal management - offers broad knowledge of the topics covered - complements existing coastal licenses and educational programs - has been developed by CZF in cooperation with the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) Visit our website or email coastalzonefoundation@gmail.com for more details.
