The History of the BRNS
Technology

The principles and prototypes of the BRNS technology have been around for over 40 years. Dick Holmberg was the innovative mind that took many science and observational disciplines and combined them in such a way as to use nature’s energy to restore severely eroded beaches and shorelines.

Over the years, this technology has been developed and perfected as to where entire shoreline ecosystems, dunes, and bluffs were stabilized and restored. Between the early 1970’s and today, many hundreds of these systems were installed throughout the US and the world saving thousands of miles of coastline. Holmberg, the Senior Technical Advisor for us and Beach Recovery are working diligently to expand the reach of this amazing technology.

Our goal now is to install the newest state of the art systems around the world and have the brightest minds from many disciplines study the physical and environmental effects of the technology. Through thorough documentation, we can accelerate the adoption of the BRNS around the world. BRNS is the only environmentally sound, permanent solution using nature’s energy to recover lost beaches.
