This guide covers beach nourishment design, predicting future erosion, and the role of federal agencies in the process. The authors also outline the monitoring process and economic feasibility of projects.

This manual is intended to be used as guidance by NPS staff to better plan and manage beach nourishment projects when beach nourishment has been determined to be consistent with NPS Management Policies. This manual provides tools for resource managers to interface with partners that
are completing technical designs and outlines best management practices that can be utilized to avoid or minimize potential adverse impacts. 

This easy-to-read guide covers all the main elements of beach nourishment, from analyzing the site characteristics to monitoring. Included is a helpful infographic that lays out the entire spectrum of green to gray shoreline defense techniques.

Providing an overview of beaver ecology and conservation, this chapter is meant for those looking for general information about beavers. Topics covered include habitat requirements, disease, beaver–fish interactions, and the economic value of beavers.

Introduction to principles of bioretention systems (rain gardens, bioswales) and overview of design and construction. Focuses on visual indicators to assess performance and maintenance needs. Also includes visual indicators for other urban stormwater management practices, including permeable pavement and filter strips.

Identifies sagebrush restoration projects by USFWS funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The MMIS provides public access
to government-funded and BOEM- sponsored data and information about offshore mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the, Atlantic, Gulf of America and Pacific. The primary goal is to assist project proponents in identifying sand and sediment resources for coastal resilience projects and identify barriers to using them.

BOEM's Marine Minerals Program includes several tools, programs and initatives useful for coastal projects involving the use of federal sand and sediment resources. These inclide: the national offshore sand inventory, the marine minerals information system (MMIS), support for environmental studies and sediment identification for projects, mimpact investifations and resource evaluations, and inventory/identification of marine mineral resources for project use.

This site hosts program support materials for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program. These resources provide applicants with the necessary information to develop BRIC applications.

This guidebook is helps community members to identify staff, technical and funding resources to implement NBS to build resilience to natural hazards.

This guidebook details five strategies community leaders can use to carry out NBS projects. While it doesn't include techncial guidance, it assigns value to listed strategies and suggested next steps for each.

This document includes an actionable plan to develop a REPI (Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program) resilience project for military installations and project partners using nature based solutions.

This dataset provides standardized information on invasive species (currently only weeds, but will expand to all invasive taxa).

This resource kit houses several resources applicable to reforestation and post-fire response in California forests.

This guide puts an emphasis on restoring the hydrology of the river as the key to riparian restoration. The author provides guidance for designing projects in watersheds altered by levees, dams, and logging practices.

Focused on reefs dominated by Acropora corals, this guidebook covers coral gardening and other restoration techniques. A special emphasis is given to increasing genetic diversity within coral colonies.

Spanning restoration techniques and a variety of case studies, this guide catalogs the challenges and successes of riparian restoration in the Southwest United States. By exemplifying the lessons learned from each project, the authors aggregate collective knowledge on riparian restoration.

This library lets users browse case study reports and best practice articles from across FEMA's areas of expertise. You can search by title or keywords, select additional content filters, or jump to a collection. These include mitigation best practices and preparedeness grant case studies that could be useful for designing NBS projects. 

Document that lays out steps planners have taken to manage floodplains in California’s Central Valley. This resource includes case studies on levee setback, flood management, and incorporating climate change into floodplain planning.

This guide goes through a variety of factors that need to be taken into consideration when restoring a riparian buffer, including soil quality, buffer width and streamside stabilization. The authors describe the relationship between riparian buffers and their surrounding land uses, including forestry, agriculture, and urban development.
