- Rinehart Coastal Research Center - A "center without walls" that serves to facilitate all aspects of coastal research. The RCRC brings together scientists, engineers, social scientists, and students from many disciplines to study the world's coastal ocean and provides grants and matching funds for coastal research, student and travel support, and "rapid response" coastal research initiatives.
- Coastal Dynamics 2001. Lund, Sweden, June 11-14, 2001. - The Conference theme is Forcing and Response in Coastal Dynamics, where the forcing may be natural or anthropogenic. This theme recognizes the importance in coastal research of looking at coastal processes as cause and effect. The theme encompasses field, laboratory, theoretical, and numerical studies, with emphasis on achieving comprehensive understanding of coastal processes and prediction of long-term and large-scale evolution of our coastlines.
- Coastal Zone Research Network (COZONE) - An interdisciplinary research network, to promote the coastal zone research community providing a sustainable informal network of researchers, consulting organisations and end users, of all interests in the coastal zone. Organises workshops on all coastal issues from the backshore out into coastal waters, and promotes new research applications.
- Coastal Systems International, Inc. | Coastal Engineering - Providing solutions to complex projects in the coastal / waterfront environment. For over 20 years we have successfully designed and built projects in Florida, the Caribbean, and the Americas.
- Dorset Coast Digital Archive - Images and information on topics including marine and coastal habitats, history of coastal settlements and land use, changes to the coastal area, and pressures on coastal ecosystems.
- Coastal Program - Describes the coastal ecosystem program and its efforts to conserve fish, wildlife and their habitats to support healthy coastal ecosystems.
- Coastal Carolina University - Coastal Carolina University offers 36 programs leading to the baccalaureate degree, master's degree programs in education and science disciplines, seven cooperative programs with other South Carolina universities, and many international exchange programs. Coastal comprises 41 buildings on 272 acres including the Center for Marine and Wetland Studies in the Atlantic Center on Highway 501.
- Coastal Home Plans - Coastal Home Plans offers authentic coastal house plans. Site lists house plans including beach bungalows, coastal cottages and seaside estates.
- Coastal Engineering and Hazard Mitigation - Consulting services from Christopher P. Jones, P.E., coastal engineer specializing in coastal erosion and flood issues.
- EARSeL Special Interest Group Remote Sensing of the Coastal Zone - Discussion group on remote sensing of coastal zones, including ground truth data sampling and modelling, focusing on substances and pollutants, processes and coastal zone management.

- Coastal management - Coastal management or coastal defence is used to throughout the world for many different purposes, but predominantly to reduce coastal erosion and flooding. There are many techniques of coastal management including "hard" and "soft" construction and planning approaches.
- Coastal sage scrub - Coastal sage scrub (or simply coastal scrub) is a low scrubland plant community found in the California chaparral and woodlands ecoregion of coastal California and northern Baja California. It is characterized by low-growing aromatic, and drought-deciduous shrubs adapted to the semi-arid Mediterranean climate of the coastal lowlands.
- Coastal Barrier Resources Act - The Coastal Barrier Resources Act of the United States (CBRA, Public Law 97-348), enacted October 18, 1982, designated various undeveloped coastal barriers, depicted by a set of maps adopted by law, for inclusion in the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS).
- Northern Pacific coastal forests - The Northern Pacific coastal forests are temperate coniferous forest ecoregion of the Pacific coast of North America. It occupies a narrow coastal zone of Alaska, between the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountain ranges, covering an area of 23,300 square miles (60,400 square kilometers), extending from the Alexander Archipelago in southeast Alaska along the Gulf of Alaska to the western Kenai Peninsula and eastern Kodiak Island.
- Submersion (coastal management) - Submersion (Coastal Management), is the sustainable cyclic portion of coastal erosion where coastal sediments move from the visible portion of a beach to the submerged nearshore region, and later return to the original visible portion of the beach. The recovery portion of the sustainable cycle of sediment behaviour is (Accretion (coastal management)).
