Our Story

Ceto grew from a shared commitment to bridging the gap between science, economics, and policy in the face of increasingly complex coastal and environmental challenges. What began as a focused effort on coastal access and economic valuation has evolved into a broader practice that supports interdisciplinary problem-solving across climate resilience, land use, infrastructure, and equity.

​

Our team brings together expertise in coastal science, economics, environmental planning, and public policy. We are united by a belief that real solutions must account for both technical realities and human impacts. We care deeply about protecting coastal environments and expanding public access, while also recognizing the tradeoffs and constraints that shape decision-making. That balance of values and pragmatism defines our approach to every project.
