This reference documents lists regional coastal management and climate service contacts, and links to federal resources discussing NBS and future conditions. These include guidbeooks, toolkits, mapping tools, visalizers, databases and handouts.

The Conservation Webinar Portal provides live and on-demand webinars on multi-discipline topics by specialists primarily for the East service area states and the Caribbean.

This document guides appllicants through the conception, design, and implementation process for coral restoration for risk reduction (CR4) projects for hazard mitigation funding.

This guide provides information on designing and maintaining green roofs in arid western states. It provides information on when certain types of green roofs are most appropriate and their different benefits.

In a search to find the most effective restoration practices, the authors reviewed numerous restoration projects. Additionally, the guide includes case studies and recommendations to practitioners.

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.

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 guidebook serves as a roadmap for implementing each step FEMA has identified for building climate resilience with state, local, tribal and territorial partners. It includes tools, programs, and funding support supported/managed categorized by each step of the cycle to build resilience.

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.

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.

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

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 report identifies various funding sources that can be used to support stormwater management programs or finance individual projects. This includes financing options for individual projects and larger-scale programs, examples of existing muncipal programs and a resource list to further explain opportunities.

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.
