What We Do

The Coastal Intelligence Commons

Shared intelligence infrastructure for coastal decision making.

The Coastal Intelligence Commons is a new model for organizing, sharing, and applying coastal knowledge. It continuously integrates science, landscape architecture, engineering, ecology, economics, finance, governance, policy, and community practice into practical intelligence. It is living infrastructure that grows stronger with every partnership, project, lesson, and innovation. Knowledge becomes a shared public asset.

The Role of LCI

LCI stewards, expands, and applies the Coastal Intelligence Commons so every coastal decision can benefit from the collective intelligence of those who came before it.

What We Do

•   Steward the Commons as enduring public-interest infrastructure.

•   Apply shared intelligence through strategic advisory services.

•   Demonstrate what works through peer reviewed, designed demonstration projects.

•   Advance policy and practice by translating knowledge into implementation.

Why Landscape Architecture

Every coastal challenge converges in the landscape. Landscape architecture integrates ecology, engineering, planning, policy, economics, culture, and human experience into coherent action. At LCI, design is the framework through which knowledge becomes implementation.

Building an Enduring Institution

California is our starting point.
The coast is our classroom.
The global future is our client.

We are building the shared intelligence infrastructure that helps every coastal organization make better decisions.
