Membership Benefits
 Join forces with your colleagues in an international society that explores and addresses technical, social, policy, educational, and management issues with a coastal focus. The heart of the mission of The Coastal Society (TCS) is to provide professional education and development to members through communication and education. To accomplish that mission, TCS offers you the following benefits of membership:
International Conference
Share your experience and research at the international biennial meetings of The Coastal Society. Participate in the development of better strategies for addressing your coastal concerns with experts and specialists from a wide variety of disciplines. The next conference, our 22nd, will be held in Wilmington, North Carolina at the Hilton Riverside Wilmington from June 13-16, 2010. Take part in shaping the program for this conference and future conferences by joining the conference planning committee. Save money with the member's discount on TCS conference registration fees. The difference in price is enough to pay your dues for next year!
Email List
Receive weekly notification of coastal management jobs, upcoming conferences and special educational and fun networking opportunities as well as news briefs on coastal issues through our members only e-mail listserv.
TCS Bulletin
Enjoy reading the useful information found in the TCS Bulletin, distributed electronically to members, featuring coastal news, policy announcements, and research updates, plus regular articles on legal issues, legislative action, international events, and coastal management strategies.
Coastal Management Journal
Stay up-to-date on research findings, analysis, tools and techniques as you set policy and manage our coastal resources -- and save money at the same time. TCS Regular membership includes an online subscription to Coastal Management, the international journal of marine environment, resources, law and society. This journal is included in the Thompson Reuters ISI Web of Knowledge Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index of this cited reference tool.
IN THE WORKS!! Member-to-Member Database
Ever wonder if someone you met is member of TCS? Looking for a colleague, friend, or former student or professor? Are you considering a move to a new location and would like to connect with a fellow TCS member? Then this brand new benefit is for you! TCS is working on a searchable member-to-member database. You can find someone by last name or location. You can search for members working in government or the private sector or for members with a specific field of expertise.
