EnviroAtlas data and resources can be used to inform a range of projects, from regional to local scales. This easy to use, interactive mapping application does not require any GIS skills to use and provides ready access to 536 map layers likegreen space per capita, mammal species richness or percent developed area and multiple analysis tools. EPA uses this tool for uses like project implementation (e.g. permitting) and designing targeted outreach strategies, but the site includes a repository of diverse ways this tool can be used in advancing all types of environmental work. 

How's My Waterway was designed to provide the general public with information about the condition of their local waters based on data that states, federal, tribal, local agencies and others have provided to EPA. Water quality information is displayed on 3 scales in How’s My Waterway; community, state and national. 

In this study, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, quantified the potential for landward migration of tidal saline wetlands along the U.S. Gulf of America coast under alternative future sea-level rise and urbanization scenarios. These findings can provide useful information for scientists and environmental planners working to develop future-focused adaptation strategies for conserving coastal landscapes and the ecosystem goods and services provided by tidal saline wetlands.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have collaborated to develop passage design guidance for use by engineers and other restoration practitioners considering and designing nature‐like fishways (NLFs). The primary purpose of these guidelines is to provide a summary of existing fish swimming and leaping performance data and the best available scientific information on safe, timely and effective passage for 14 diadromous fish species using Atlantic Coast rivers and streams. 

FEMA's geoplatform, including its geospatial resource center, facilitates information sharing between the federal government, NGOs, and the public. It includes geospatial data on hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and several other hazards that can be used for visualizing, siting, and exploring potential NBS implementation sites. 

The USGS Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Program helps communities protect lives and property by providing tools and information to help them understand their local flood risks and make cost-effective mitigation decisions. Its main purposes are to 1) Partner with local communities to assist with the development and validation of flood inundation map libraries and 2) Provide online access to flood inundation maps along with real-time streamflow data, flood forecasts, and potential loss estimates.

This checklist includes overall strategies to improve flood resilience as well as specific strategies to conserve land and discourage development in river corridors; to protect people, businesses, and facilities in vulnerable settlements; to direct development to safer areas; and to implement and coordinate stormwater management practices throughout the whole watershed.

This 2-day course, hosted by Florida Sea Grant, provides an in-depth dive into the design, permitting, implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of living shorelines for various types of property owners.

Incorporating the natural dynamism in dune ecosystems into restoration projects is covered in the chapter, in addition to specific techniques. The authors also discuss the benefits involved with dune restoration and balancing restoration with recreation.

These webinars build knowledge on financing and funding strategies for coastal resilience activities.

This quick reference guide briefly covers different funding and financing options for coastal resilience projects. It covers tax proceeds, fees, grants, public-private partnerships, crowdfunding platforms, voluntary surcharges, loans, state revolving funds, muncipal/local government bonds, environmental impact bonds, green bonds, resilience bonds, and parametric insurance.

This guide helps link specific management actions to desired ecosystem services, as management choices have a large impact on which benefits a project will yield. Additional topics covered include oyster reef restoration techniques, socioeconomic outcomes of restoration and multiple case studies.

This online guide is a hub where planners and practitioners share solutions, best practices, and lessons learned for building resilience, as well as the necessary tools, data and maps, and publications. The guide shares community-authored case studies that provide explicit direction on the best practices and tools to use. Learn more about the collaborative process used to develop the Great Lakes Coastal Resilience Planning Guide.

This database is a compilation of literature resources documenting the effectiveness and economics of nature-based solutions and green infrastructure for coastal resilience.

This short fact sheet explains how green infrastructure can be used to protect coral reefs and lists out tools and resources interested parties can use to explore green infrastructure capabilities.

This self-paced training module walks spatial analysts through 6-step process to create a GIS plan that integrates NBS to address coastal flooding issues. It goes from defining your goal to creating a scoring system for prioritizing the best natural features to focus NBS implementation on, and links to resources, checklists, case studies and guidance that can help demystify each step.

Also developed by NOAA, this guidebook outlines the physical, ecological, and policy considerations that influence a living shoreline creation project. Emphasis is given to the site suitability factors for successful projects.

This comprehensive guide covers every aspect of seagrass restoration from project planning to monitoring. The guide also gives a regional breakdown of permitting requirements needed for a project.

Overview webpage outlining funding, restoration techniques, invasive species removal, design considerations, and potential obstacles to restoration. This resource focuses on practical concerns, such as finding contractors and funding opportunities.

Gulf TREE is a decision support tool designed to help stakeholders like natural resource managers and community planners in the gulf states access the right climate tools for their work. Users can navigate the tool using a series of filters independently, or opt for a guided search where they answer questions to view their recommended tools.
