Welcome
What is Coastal Systems Portfolio Initiative?
The Coastal Systems Portfolio Initiative (CSPI) databases provide an archive for data to support many of the CSPI initiatives.
As the federal agency authorized by Congress to study, plan, design,
construct, and renourish coastal risk reduction projects, the USACE is
tasked with providing technical input on current and future needs for
coastal projects. Accurate, up-to-date, and accessible technical information
serves as a valuable resource for decision makers responsible for making
balanced, information-based decisions for managing coastal programs.
This web database presents the “big picture” about current and future
needs for coastal projects within USACE. As the nation’s
engineer, the USACE collected and presented technical data and
estimated costs, with consideration of project reliability and risk. The
process used by the USACE to examine federal projects as a total system
instead of as individual projects will continue to be refined over time. This
technical review is an initial systems-based tool that decision makers at
any level can use to make more informed judgments as they manage
coastal risk reduction projects in the United States, both now and in the
near future.
