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.

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.

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

The Digital Coast (authorized by the Digital Coast Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1467) was developed to meet the unique needs of the coastal management community. The website provides not only coastal data, but also the tools, training, and information needed to make these data truly useful. Content comes from many sources, all of which are vetted by NOAA.

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.

This document outlines a 5-step process to effectively design, plan, and implement tidal wetland restoration in the region betwee Maine to Virginia. Developed during a NOAA Restoration Center workshop, it details how to: predict relative sea level rise, gather relevant information, conduct sea level rise impact analysis, incorporate said analysis into project design, and implement maintenance and monitoring on the tidal wetland restoration projects.

This document is designed to give users a better understanding for how HMA grants are a viable funding source for nature-based solutions to hazard mitigation. This includes an overview of selecting appropriate NBS for a given hazard and location, FEMA HMA requirments, and how to maximize benefits for a given project. 

This resource library houses online tools and resources like project examples, webinar clips, GIS tools, and federal research and reports.

This resource provides information on implementing a national framework for early detection and rapid response.

This guidance manual, the second in a two part series (part one linkes above) offers detailed descriptions of the habitats identified in volume 1, inventories coastal restoration monitoring programs, reviewes monitoring techniques manuals and quality control documents, provides a brief overview of pertinent governmental acts, offers a cost analysis of expected expenses, a term flossary, and an in-depth discussion of socioeconomic issues that may arise in the coastal habitat restoration context.

Discussing the trade-offs between living and hard shorelines is the primary focus of this resource. The website contains best management practices, fact sheets, and a story map illustrating successful projects in the Great Lakes region.

This detailed guidebook summarizes the best current knowledge on using beaver to restore streams, floodplains, wetlands and riparian systems. It summarizes beaver ecology, watershed-level planning, beaver dam analogues, urban and general population management, and dam viability amongst other topics.

This report summarizes the NBS managers in cities across teh US used to solve their unique green infrastructure challenges, the reasoning for selecting these solutions, and outcomes when applicable. It includes a repository of projets readers can find EPA reports on categorized by which step of the implementation process they may be most pertient to.

This portal contains links to WRCS resources specific to particular regions of the United States, including assessments of structure effectiveness.

This report offers details regarding the use of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) to improve coastal resilience and was designed to support post-Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts under the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS). An integrative framework is offered herein that focuses on classifying NNBF, characterizing vulnerability, developing performance metrics, incorporating regional sediment management, monitoring and adaptively managing from a systems perspective, and addressing key policy challenges. 

This report reviews 39 mitigation measures that help reduce wildlife–vehicle collisions and provide habitat connectivity for wildlife crossings. The guide is focused on structures for large terrestrial mammals.
