ASCE Seattle Section Ports and Harbors Committee Monthly Dinner
Topic: InVEST Coastal Protection Models with Applications

The Natural Capital Project aims to integrate the value of nature into all major decisions affecting the environment and human well-being. The approach taken to realizing this goal is to work with stake holders and decision makers throughout the world to develop land- and marine-use plans as well as conservation plans that are sustainable and provide mutual benefits across all service sectors and preserve natural habitats that are most important for human well-being. A core component of the approach is the development of terrestrial and marine models that quantify the impact of land- and marine-uses on habitats and service models that estimate the value of those habitats.

Among the marine service models are the Coastal Vulnerability model and the Wave and Erosion Protection model. The Coastal Vulnerability provides a qualitative estimate of where habitats may be most important for coastal protection and the Wave and Erosion model estimates the amount of wave attenuation and erosion (for consolidated beds) or shoreline retreat (for sandy beaches) reduction owing to the presence of natural habitats. Both of these models will be introduced and the components that may be most useful to consultants with expertise will be highlighted, as well as hypothetical examples of how these models may be used in coastal engineering design. Also, work that has been completed with the use of these models including a nationwide climate assessment (US) and an integrated coastal zone management plan for Belize will be presented. Lastly, examples of current work in Galveston Bay that lays the ground work for future models that will be of interest to flood plain modelers and managers and a web-based tool for the Puget Sound will presented.

Speaker: Joe Faries, Coastal Engineer/Scientist, The Natural Captial Project

Joe Faries is a research assistant with the Natural Capital Project (NatCap) marine team where he aides in the development and application of the Coastal Protection models. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a minor in Economics, as well as a Master's Degree in Coastal Engineering from the University of Delaware. Joe has gained experience with site design, storm water management, and stream restoration design through internships and undergraduate research. His Master's research involved developing and implementing a sensor to measure nearbed sediment concentrations in the nearshore environment to obtain sediment transport rates. Joe recently worked as a Coastal Engineer for URS Corporation and performed coastal and riverine floodplain modeling and mapping, as well as damage assessments and disaster relief following Hurricane Irene as a technical specialist for FEMA. Joe joined the NatCap Marine team in January 2012.
