Encompassing all aspects of large wood designs, this guide covers their geomorphic, hydrological, and ecological considerations. The authors also discuss the risks involved, regulatory considerations, and monitoring.

This training encompasses the technical aspects of implementing and maintaining living shoreline creation projects. The authors provide in-depth design guidelines and information about the permitting process.

Explains how built wetlands function, project design, construction, operations, and monitoring.

This instructor-led course prepares participants to successfully plan/implement green/natural infrastrcuture projects in their coastal communities. It includes a self-guided virtual module and an in-person event where participants work with local experts to develop a green infrastructure strategy. An online version of the course is offered.

This implementation guide helps transportation professionals determine how and when to use NBS to make coastal roads and bridges more resilient. It discusses potential benefits, design and planning considerations, site assessment guidance, summarizes permitting approaches, construction considerations, and monitoring and maintenance strategies. It also links to several decisions upport tools, site characterization tools, and summarizes suggested performance metrics for evaluating completed projects.

Comprised of key takeaways from 4 peer exchanges across the U.S., this report summarizes key recommendations and challenges in the permitting, design, monitoring, maintenance, and funding phases of NBS deployment in coastal highway resilience projects.

This page links three quick reference guides pertaining to NBS and ecosystem services: the practices & benefits, installation & maintenance costs, and assessment of costs & benefits.
