 A knowledge and understanding of the key processes
that act in shaping our coastlines is the foundation for all other
aspects of coastal zone investigation. The interaction of wind, waves,
currents, water level change, sediment, geology and morphology govern
the way in which we utilize the coastal environment, and govern the
types of impacts that can occur as a result of this utilization.
Staff and Associates of Christian J. Stewart

acquired such knowledge through both education and practical application
and conduction of a number of projects including:
