This website, Protecting Chesapeake Bay’s Beaches & Tiger Beetles (chesapeakebay-beaches.com), is an educational resource from Randolph-Macon College’s Environmental Studies program. It shares science about Chesapeake Bay beaches, shoreline change, and the Northeastern Beach Tiger Beetle.

The content is for general information and education only. It is not legal, engineering, permitting, or professional advice. Shoreline work may require permits from federal, state, and local agencies. Check with the right agencies before you build or change a shoreline.

You may read, share, and link to this site for personal, educational, and non-commercial use. Please credit the site and authors. Do not copy the site in a way that suggests you created it, or use the content to mislead others.

We work to keep the science current, but conditions, rules, and research change. We do not guarantee that every detail is complete or up to date.

Some pages link to other sites, such as agency pages, maps, and videos. Those sites have their own terms. We are not responsible for their content.
