At a recent bioinformatics meeting I attended, a senior experimental biologist from overseas commented to the effect that it was hard for bioinformatics researchers to build their own careers, to publish their own papers. My take on his comment was that…

Find information on reducing coastal erosion and storm damage while minimizing impacts to shoreline systems from the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM).
