About Us
From Innovation to Implementation
We help ports and coastal governments translate climate risk into actionable projects by connecting technology, policy, community engagement, and funding — then turn successful approaches into models that can scale.
Our role is not to invent every solution. It is to understand the problem that needs to be solved, bring the right partners to the table, and help move promising ideas from analysis and innovation into real-world deployment.
Our Value
Across our work, CSRS brings together five capabilities:
Coastal resilience and adaptation strategy — translating climate risk into actionable priorities.
Government and community implementation — helping public institutions and communities evaluate and advance solutions.
Technology and demonstration partnerships — matching clearly defined coastal challenges with promising innovations.
Funding and implementation pathways — connecting projects to grants, philanthropy, public investment, and private capital.
Replication and scale — turning successful projects into models that can travel across ports and coastal communities.

We connect the dots between climate risk and action — so good ideas become projects, projects become solutions, and solutions can scale.
How We Work
Define the problem
We work with ports, governments, communities, and operators to understand the decisions they need to make — and the climate risks standing in the way.
Connect the right partners
We bring together technology companies, researchers, engineers, workforce partners, policymakers, community leaders, and capital around clearly defined needs.
Build the pathway to implementation
We bring together technology companies, researchers, engineers, workforce partners, policymakers, community leaders, and capital around clearly defined needs.
Demonstrate what works
We develop pilot and demonstration opportunities that test solutions against real coastal and maritime challenges.
Scale the model
We capture lessons, frameworks, and implementation pathways so successful approaches can be adapted by other ports and coastal communities.
Where Our Work Comes to Life
Coastal Innovation
The blue economy is generating extraordinary new technologies, research, and ideas. The challenge is getting the right solutions into the places that need them.
CSRS serves as an implementation bridge within the coastal innovation ecosystem. We start with the real problem confronting a port or coastal community, define the use case with government and community stakeholders, identify appropriate technologies and partners, and help structure the funding and implementation pathway.
Through partnerships with innovation hubs and networks such as AltaSea and the Deep Blue Decade Initiative, successful demonstrations can become replicable models for coastal communities in California and around the world.
Ports, Electrification & Workforce
Historic investments in port electrification are creating an opportunity to modernize maritime infrastructure while building the workforce and communities that will support it.
CSRS helps connect the pieces required for successful deployment: port operators, energy and technology providers, government, workforce organizations, educational institutions, communities, and public and private capital.
Our role is to identify gaps, assemble the right partners, connect infrastructure investment to workforce and community outcomes, and help create approaches that can be replicated across ports.
Public investment + technology + institutions → implementable port solutions.
Sea-Level Rise & Maritime Decision-Making
Climate data is only valuable if it helps someone make a better decision.
CSRS works with ports and maritime partners to translate sea-level-rise science and emerging technologies into the operational questions that matter: What changes as water levels rise? Which infrastructure becomes vulnerable? What does that mean for operations? What information is still missing? And what adaptation decisions should follow?
CSRS is working with ports around the world to help shape a planning framework that connects sea-level-rise scenarios with real maritime questions — from berth usability and mooring to dredging, clearance, and waterside infrastructure — while defining the data and decision requirements for future digital tools.
The goal is not technology for technology's sake. It is to create decision tools that help ports understand risk, prioritize adaptation, attract funding, and act.
