<br />Founding Partner Harvey Sasso brings over 35 years of demonstrated commitment
<br />to the engineering of coastal and waterfront projects throughout Florida and the
<br />Caribbean. As a professional coastal engineer, Harvey possesses expertise in coastal
<br />planning, beach management, and waterfront development. Harvey has a
<br />reputation for providing a business-oriented approach to engineering solutions,
<br />with decades of planning, designing, and implementing numerous
<br />coastal/waterfront development projects throughout Florida and the Caribbean.
<br />Harvey has been involved in all aspects of coastal/marine projects, including project
<br />design, engineering analysis, environmental permitting, and the legal, political, and
<br />managerial elements of project implementation. Harvey has led teams for a number
<br />of public projects, including the Coastal Inundation and Economic Vulnerability
<br />Study for Bal Harbour Village, which was made possible through a grant funded by
<br />the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Resilient Coastlines Program,
<br />acquired by Coastal Systems.
<br />With extensive experience and expertise in coastal planning, he understands the
<br />significance of resilience, feasibility, construction costs, public outreach, and
<br />economic assessment relative to engineering design – especially in light of ever-
<br />increasing challenges associated with climate change and sea level rise. His years of
<br />experience within the coastal environment has allowed him to serve as a speaker
<br />at the 2019 Florida Climate Change Compact, addressing Resiliency and Economic
<br />Impacts of Climate Change. Harvey is routinely incorporating resiliency and
<br />sustainability elements into his projects. Harvey was part of the team collaborating
<br />with the City of Miami Beach on their Historic District Resiliency & Adaptation
<br />Guidelines, providing his coastal engineering expertise, predicting flood impacts
<br />from hurricane storm surge, sea level rise and rainfall flooding under present and
<br />future conditions. His interest in economics and financing complements his coastal
<br />engineering design capabilities when making critical development decisions during
<br />a project’s early stages. Specifically, he believes each coastal project must consider
<br />resiliency as applied not just to the project’s own longevity, but also to assess flood
<br />protection benefits to surrounding developments.
