Base Camp

Located in southern Maryland, Stoney Point is perfectly situated on the Potomac River to serve as a living laboratory for beach restoration and erosion control methods. This unique location allows us to test and refine sustainable shoreline stabilization techniques while also advancing innovative residential hydropower technologies. By harnessing the natural flow of the river, we aim to develop scalable solutions that protect coastal ecosystems, enhance waterfront resilience, and provide renewable energy options for homeowners and communities.

Our ongoing research integrates cutting-edge engineering with nature-based solutions, such as living shorelines, and sediment management strategies, to mitigate the effects of rising sea levels and storm surges. Stoney Point’s dynamic environment enables us to collaborate with environmental scientists, engineers, and policymakers to pioneer advancements in hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and sustainable construction materials.

Additionally, we are committed to community engagement and education, offering hands-on workshops, field studies, and demonstration projects that highlight the importance of coastal preservation and renewable energy. By fostering partnerships with local universities, conservation organizations, and government agencies, Stoney Point is positioned at the forefront of environmental innovation, shaping the future of shoreline protection and sustainable energy solutions.
