AB  - Humans have congregated near coastlines since the emergence of early civilizations. This trend increased during the industrial revolution to facilitate access to oceans for travel and commerce. Though this trend of coastal development continues into the present day, the coast’s ability to sustain human activity remains a challenge. Rising sea levels, increasing storm power and coastal development activities have led to recession of coastlines, resulting in loss of land, property damage, and habitat loss. Thus, researchers have recognized the importance of educating the public about current coastal erosion trends and environmentally sustainable policies. We address this educational aim by developing a city-building video game, “SimCoast”, to help community members learn about the impacts of coastline recession and related environmental issues. Our game presents players with a map that mimics South Florida coastline conditions. In SimCoast, the player, acting as a city administrator, enacts policies and regulations that shape the city’s public and private-sector developments. Coastal simulations will be driven by data sets collected from real-world coastlines and how they have developed throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, incorporating coastal erosion models from scientific literature and satellite imagery. Our work will also include surveys to measure the impact on perception and learning among participants. In addition to helping community members and policymakers make informed decisions, our work will provide context and guidance to researchers in engineering and education.
