The natural processes that occur in the coastal zone,
combined with the activities of man, create the potential for a wide
range of impacts to both the natural environment of the coast, as well
as to any man-made features that are present. Similarly, construction
and development in sensitive coastal areas can have severe impacts on
coastal landforms, coastal processes and to coastal terrestrial and
aquatic habitats. Staff and Associates of Christian J. Stewart

services that can assist with the examination of such impacts.
