Film & advertising

What was filmed along the way

The work has been recorded from the water and from the podium: an address at the United Nations, time-lapse of a shoreline returning, and animations that show how sediment is captured. Each film plays here on the page; nothing starts on its own.

Coastal Accretion Engineering (CAD) explainer

How the system works, explained from the beginning.

Watch as the nearshore returns: time-lapse

The change along an installed shoreline, recorded in time-lapse after deployment.

United Nations, 20 January 2016

Gregory Sarno's address on beach erosion and coastal accretion engineering.

Animation of the CAD and Beach Nourishment System

An animated walk-through of the design and how sediment is captured.

The printed record: Coastal Stabilization Proof of Concept

The same shoreline work set out on paper — documented Great Lakes before-and-after case studies, the five-stage recovery process, the permitting pathway and independent engineering validation. All 18 pages are reproduced below in order.
