Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC)

The Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) is a branch of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers focused on studying and providing solutions for coastal issues. This includes managing beach erosion, flooding from storms, and maintaining safe navigation in coastal waters. CERC conducts research, develops models, and promotes technology to protect shorelines and support sustainable coastal development. Their work helps communities adapt to challenges posed by natural forces, ensuring the safety and resilience of coastal environments while considering ecological impacts and economic needs.
