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.

Viewing living shorelines through the nature-based solutions paradigm, this guidebook provides techniques to create living shorelines. The guidebook contains additional information about the permitting steps and funding opportunities available.

This technical document delves into the hydrodynamic, terrestrial, and ecological parameters that impact living shoreline creation projects. Additional topics include regulatory considerations and invasive species management.

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.

The authors show how river restoration centers around restoring the hydrological processes that make a riverine system successful. The guide focuses on low-tech and cost-efficient solutions, including beaver dam analogs and assisted wood accumulation.

This guide explains how beaver management fits into larger river and stream restoration projects. Topics covered include designing BDAs, implementing projects, and restoring river health.

Focusing on the policy tools needed to implement an assisted marsh migration project, this website helps weigh the social and ecological concerns related to marsh migration. Additional topics covered include regulatory considerations, infrastructure removal, and planning tools.

This best management practices guide describes practices for retaining or improving habitat connectivity for amphibians and reptiles in California.

Details on stormwater control practices, including many NBS. Includes design and construction guidelines, operations and maintenance information, assessing project performance, and case studies.

Ecological and engineering principles for restoring wetlands, including site assessment, design and construction, vegetation establishment, and monitoring and ongoing management.

The purpose of this document is to provide a resource that communities can use to identify and evaluate a range of potential mitigation actions for reducing risk to natural hazards and disasters. The focus of this document is mitigation, which is action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to hazards. The document discusses 16 natural hazards, and describes mitigation strategies across several different aspects of mitigation within them. These include regulations requirements through FEMA, education prorgams, and natural systems protection (NBS) ideas. 

This document is a job aid that aims to provide Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel and stakeholders with field guidance specific to Puerto Rico on using Natural and Nature-Based Solutions (NNBS) to stabilize shorelines through the protection, enhancement or restoration and creation of sand dunes in alignment with FEMA’s strategic goals for climate resilience.

This job aid is designed to equip FEMA personnel and stakeholders with the necessary knowledge and field-oriented, practical advice for successful streambank stabilization works in Puerto Rico through the application of Natural and Nature-Based Solutions (NNBS). This involves restoring, protecting and enhancing riparian buffers and vegetation along the streams in Puerto Rico, especially those with repetitive loss, consistent with FEMA's strategic objectives for enhancing climate resilience.

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 resource repository includes 3 guides to using NBS to mitigate natural hazards, and includes resources detailing types of NBS, assistance with the planning process, compliance/permitting, funding sources,and trainings through FEMA and FEMA's partners.

Guidance document that details the characteristics of salt marsh habitat, human disturbance, and restoration and monitoring methods. Intended to provide a framework for salt marsh restoration and address common shortcomings in past projects.

This guide gives a helpful overview of the major components of oyster restoration. Filled with easy-to-read diagrams and charts, the authors help bridge the gap between engineering designs and overall project goals.

The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program mobilizes over 200 field biologists to provide private landowners with free technical and financial assistance to imrpove habitat conservation on their land. This includes: the planning, implementation, and monitoring of projects; partner and funding identification; and permitting guidance.

Website with links to resources about floodplain management collaboration, permitting through the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and managing contractors. The site also provides resources tailored toward tribal projects, communication, and monitoring mechanisms.
