Welcome to The Coastal Society

The Coastal Society is an organization of private sector, academic, and government professionals and students dedicated to actively addressing emerging coastal issues by fostering dialogue, forging partnerships, and promoting communication and education.

The 22nd International Conference of The Coastal Society

Shifting Shorelines: Adapting to the Future

was held June 13 - 16, 2010

at the Hilton Riverside Wilmington in Wilmington, NC.

Over 300 people participated in the conference events, attending provocative plenary sessions, presenting at concurrent educational sessions, exchanging thoughts during luncheon table topic sessions, and networking at the three evening receptions. The high quality of discussion was a result of the caliber and expertise of the attendees.
Check the TCS 22 Conference web site for information about the conference.

We hope you will join us in 2012 for the TCS 23 in the Miami, FL area.
