This report discusses by year and summarizes by decade, major coastal storms, coastal legislation, significant coastal milestones and data on the ensuing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects since the start of the 20th century. The chronology shows that projects follow legislation, which follow public demands after devastating coastal storms. The report also defines the scope of the Corps shore protection program over the period in terms of the number and types of protective measures, lineal distances of protected shorelines, actual costs and costs updated to September 2002. A listing of projects under construction and in the planning stages is also provided.
