Practical coastal engineering for island, reef, harbour and waterfront environments
International Coastal Management provides specialist coastal engineering services across the Pacific, supporting governments, councils, development partners, contractors, resorts and coastal communities to plan, design and deliver resilient coastal and marine infrastructure.
From erosion management and coastal protection to marine infrastructure, dredging, reef design, shoreline stabilisation and nature-based solutions, our team develops practical solutions for dynamic and sensitive coastal environments.
With experience across island, reef, estuarine and open coast settings, ICM understands the unique challenges facing Pacific communities, including sea level rise, cyclone exposure, coastal erosion, limited construction access, constrained budgets, environmental sensitivity and the need for long-term community value.

Designed for Impact, Tailored for You
Our Approach
HOW WE WORK
ICM can enter at any stage, or support the full lifecycle from initial feasibility to post-construction sign-off.
01
Understand the site
Assess local coastal processes - waves, water levels, currents, sediment movement and the influence of reefs, structures and dredged areas.
02
Define the problem
Work with clients to understand what needs to be protected, what values must be maintained and what success looks like.
03
Develop options
Compare engineering, nature-based and hybrid options, considering performance, cost, construction access and future adaptability.
04
Design for delivery
Consider how the works will be built, what materials are available, what equipment can access the site, and how the project can be staged.
05
Support implementation
Assist through approvals, tendering, construction supervision, certification and post-construction monitoring.
Decades of coastal engineering experience, delivered practically
WHY ICM
ICM brings extensive experience across Australia, the Pacific, the Middle East, the Americas and island environments. Our team has delivered coastal protection, reef, nourishment, dredging and marine infrastructure projects in complex settings where practical delivery matters as much as design.
​
We focus on solutions that are buildable, maintainable and suited to the real constraints of remote and island environments.
