A model called GenCade was developed to simulate shoreline changes and coastal projects at regional scales. It calculates sediment transport rates, shoreline changes, inlet evolution, and the impact of restoration projects. The model was applied to the south shore of Long Island, NY, showing how various coastal structures affect the beaches over time. GenCade helps manage local projects on a larger regional scale, providing insights for coastal management and decision-making.
