Driving Coastal Innovation on the Pacific Coast

The Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference (YCSEC-A) brings together emerging professionals, researchers, and industry experts who are advancing the future of coastal science and engineering. Designed to foster collaboration, professional development, and knowledge exchange, the conference provides a welcoming environment where participants can share research, discuss real-world coastal challenges, and explore innovative approaches to shoreline resilience, coastal processes, and environmental stewardship. Through technical presentations, networking opportunities, and field-based learning experiences, YCSEC-A helps strengthen connections between academia, consulting, industry, and government organizations.

As an Orca Sponsor, we are proud to support the Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference and its mission to advance the next generation of coastal professionals. We are excited to participate in the conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and contribute to discussions shaping the future of waterfront infrastructure, coastal resilience, and environmental solutions. Set against the backdrop of one of North America’s most dynamic coastal regions, the event offers a valuable opportunity to engage with emerging leaders, exchange ideas, and foster meaningful connections across the coastal engineering community. We look forward to connecting with attendees and supporting the continued advancement of coastal science and engineering across the Americas.
