Our verification notes

The BC.CE credential is a genuine board certification from the Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port and Navigation Engineers, not a marketing badge. All three coastal engineers were verified through independent trade press covering the January 2025 acquisition of a Fairhope coastal firm, and the CFM is confirmed in an industry publication independent of the firm.
