investmentand is hypothesized to contribute significantly to national economic security and nationaldefense. We would like for this paper to stimulate a national dialogue leading to a dynamicrevival of Coastal, Ocean and Marine Engineering research and graduate education in the UnitedStates.Background A compelling argument can be made that the coastal engineering profession was bornwith legislation by the U.S. Congress that established the Beach Erosion Board and subsequentlythe Coastal Engineering Research Board for the purpose of advising the Chief of Engineers onthe direction that coastal engineering research should take to enable the nation to solve pressingbeach erosion challenges. For over 30 years from the 1930's, to the 1960's, the Beach
