Problems We Assess

Coastal challenges we diagnose

Dense sargassum accumulation blanketing a Caribbean resort beach — dark red-brown seaweed covering the entire shoreline with palm trees and resort buildings in the background

Sargassum accumulation — active eventCaribbean resort beach — peak season influx

Coastal Erosion

Progressive loss of shoreline material threatening infrastructure, property, and beach assets. We assess erosion rates, causes, and risk classification.

Sargassum Accumulation

Seasonal and chronic sargassum influx impacting beaches, marine operations, and tourism. We evaluate accumulation patterns and response pathways.

Shoreline Instability

Dynamic shoreline behaviour driven by wave action, sediment transport, and human intervention. We identify instability mechanisms and risk levels.

Marina Sedimentation

Sediment accumulation in marina basins and navigation channels affecting vessel access and operational safety. We assess deposition rates and dredging options.

Flooding & Overtopping

Storm surge, wave overtopping, and coastal flooding risk to low-lying infrastructure and coastal developments. We classify flood exposure and protection needs.

Emergency Coastal Protection

Urgent situations requiring immediate technical guidance — storm damage, sudden erosion events, or imminent structural risk. We provide rapid preliminary diagnosis.

What You Receive

A complete preliminary diagnosis

Every assessment delivers six structured outputs — giving you the technical foundation to make informed decisions about your coastal situation.

Decades of coastal engineering expertise

Close-up of sargassum being pumped and removed from a coastal containment area — Oceanus International field operation

CoastalAssessment.com is a specialized technical assessment service powered by Oceanus International — a coastal engineering firm with deep expertise in tropical and subtropical coastal environments.

Oceanus International has built its practice around the most demanding coastal challenges: chronic erosion on exposed Caribbean and Pacific shorelines, sargassum response strategies for resort and municipal clients, marina sedimentation and dredging programmes, and emergency coastal protection for infrastructure under immediate threat.

The firm brings together coastal engineers, marine scientists, and environmental specialists with direct field experience across the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond. Every assessment delivered through CoastalAssessment.com is produced by the same team that designs and supervises full-scale coastal engineering projects.

This service exists because the first step — an honest, technically grounded preliminary diagnosis — is often the hardest to access quickly. CoastalAssessment.com makes that first step structured, fast, and affordable.

"The first step is an honest, technically grounded preliminary diagnosis. We make that step structured, fast, and accessible."
