Handbook for coastal communities and public agencies that can inform the protection, management, and restoration of mangroves. Focuses primarily on high-level policy guidance.

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. 

This resource hub includes several links that EPA has backed to help communities implement green stormwater infrastructure projects. These include links to maps, a green infrastructure scorecard tool, planning/design/and implementation tools and guidbeooks, links to funding opportunities, links to climate modeling tools, collaboration guides/support, and a library of resources specific to implementing green stormwater infrastructure to meet Clean Water Act requirements.

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. 

This order explains the duties to be performed by all federal agencies to limit the impacts of invasive species throughout the United States.

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. 

This resource proposes values specific to green infrastrcutre and their associated benefits that can be used to standardize the BCA process for green infrastructure project applicants.

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. 

This guide gives actionable information on how to manage invasive cheatgrass.

This guide provides a protocol for land managers to monitor, map, and inventory invasive species. This guide aids in collaborative management by providing information that can be shared across jurisdictions. Because it is an older resource, the technical mapping data may be outdated.

This best practices guide illustrates a variety of incentives states use to encourage consideration and implementation of green infrastructure (as well as other NBS adoption strateges) and foster sustainability within their programs.

This resource explains the differences between constructed and existing firebreaks and how to use them for prescribed burns.

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.

Website with links to more than 20 resources relating to floodplain reconnection. These include handbooks on floodplain reconnection, using nature to mitigate flood damage, and floodplain planning strategies.

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.

This resource manual provides examples of adaptation strategies for alternate forest management in northeast, upper midwest, and urban forests across the United States. It also includes several workbooks forest managers can use to plan and implement these adaptation strategies.

This strategy document outlines methods that government agencies can employ to promote open space conservation, including forests.

FVS is a tool commonly used in forestry by land managers. FVS can provide useful insight into how to thin for various goals, especially the Fire and Fuels Extension.

Resource library that provides managers with best practices for managing forests within urban areas as opposed to street trees or landscaped parks.
