Simple Tech Gets the Job Done! OC Parks has launched the first community-driven shoreline monitoring station in Orange County at Strands Beach, Dana Point. This innovative CoastSnap station empowers residents and visitors to contribute to coastal erosion research by taking and uploading photos of the shoreline. Using a smartphone cradle at a fixed location, participants capture consistent images, which are then used by scientists to monitor changes in beach width over time. This initiative not only aids in local shoreline protection but also involves the community in environmental stewardship.

About us
ShoreLock is an early stage B Corp with a vision to slow coastal erosion across the planet by 2040. The ShoreLock technology is an innovative beach erosion treatment that aids in maximizing a beach’s capacity to dewater quickly and retain sand. Our revolutionary technology utilizes the application of a proprietary compound composed of naturally occurring organic marine materials and laboratory tested to be non-toxic. When applied, the solution enables the sand to reestablish natural cohesion and allow the beach ecosystem to thrive at its full capacity. Wave action is essential to the treatment process as the waves push new sand on to the shore helping to re-nourish the eroded beaches. As treated sand interacts with untreated sand, the migratory properties of the solution allow all sand in the treatment area to receive the benefits. Coastlines around the globe are critically eroding placing millions of homes and businesses at risk every year. Current methods of protection are reactive measures that often cause further damage to the environment by disrupting marine ecosystems and scarring the ocean floor. ShoreLock's mission is to shift the current conversation and proactively protect the coast lines and help reduce the use of harmful methods.

HUGE WIN for #MIAMI and so excited to have ShoreLock be part of the hashtag #ClimateTechHub —a multi-county coalition of leading climate organizations and institutions driving the growth of our regional innovation ecosystem. This initiative focuses on developing the businesses and solutions our region needs as an epicenter of the mounting effects of a changing climate and rising sea levels. And now, we are an official U.S. Economic Development Administration Tech Hub! ClimateReady will create 23,000 new high-paying jobs over the next five years. Over the next decade, the Tech Hub is projected to generate $41 billion in new revenue, putting South Florida on the map for global ClimateTech. This is a massive moment for our ecosystem— we couldn't be prouder to support this collective effort that has brought our community together. hashtag #oceans #coastalerosion #saveourbeach
