This guide provides information on how to implement smaller green roofs.

This resource provides an easy seven-step guide to living shoreline creation projects as well as cost projections, planting guides and permitting considerations. Furthermore, the guide explores hybrid shoreline stabilization methods and recommends techniques based on a property’s characteristics.

This guidebook helps restoration managers choose suitable sites for restoration and develop effective restoration strategies. The authors put an emphasis on matching the applicable restoration strategies with an appropriate site for that strategy.

Spatially explicit sagebrush conservation plan to identify priority areas for collaborative conservation.

Developed by the Interagency Workgroup on Wetland Restoration, this guidebook provides information on restoration project planning, implementation, and monitoring.

Developed for stormwater and floodplain managers, as well as land use planners, this interactive website incorporates tools and methods to derive critical coastal water-level thresholds, as well as assess the potential impacts of exceeding those thresholds on stormwater infrastructure. Managers can take various actions to address the issue, and this guide introduces planning, policy, on-the-ground, and funding options.

This guide covers beach nourishment design, predicting future erosion, and the role of federal agencies in the process. The authors also outline the monitoring process and economic feasibility of projects.

The MMIS provides public access
to government-funded and BOEM- sponsored data and information about offshore mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the, Atlantic, Gulf of America and Pacific. The primary goal is to assist project proponents in identifying sand and sediment resources for coastal resilience projects and identify barriers to using them.

This document includes an actionable plan to develop a REPI (Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program) resilience project for military installations and project partners using nature based solutions.

This resource kit houses several resources applicable to reforestation and post-fire response in California forests.

The CanVis tool offers coastal managers the opportunity to visualize future changes related to sea level rise, storm surges, and flooding. 

Focused on reefs dominated by Acropora corals, this guidebook covers coral gardening and other restoration techniques. A special emphasis is given to increasing genetic diversity within coral colonies.

This tool lets users project the carbon reduction potential of different actions from the COMET - Planner tool (WRG048) ad extrapolate up to the national level.

This guide goes through a variety of factors that need to be taken into consideration when restoring a riparian buffer, including soil quality, buffer width and streamside stabilization. The authors describe the relationship between riparian buffers and their surrounding land uses, including forestry, agriculture, and urban development.

The EPA's Clearinghouse for Environmental Finance offers a trio of catalogues of funding and finance resources and programs for Air, Water and Land improvement. Each clearinghouse includes a navigable directory of resources, and an interactive map that lets users choose their state, tribal land or territory to see what resources/funding programs/financing options are available in their area.

Identifies geographic areas within which seeds and native plants can be transferred based on current and future climate data.

The Coastal Adaptation Strategies Handbook summarizes the current state of NPS climate adaptation at the time of publication (2016) and key approaches that were currently in practice or being considered for climate change adaptation in coastal areas. The handbook is intended to provide consideration for and guide adaptation planning in coastal parks. The chapters focus on policy, planning, cultural resources, natural resources, facility management, and communication and education.

This online tool, with recently added data sets and functionality, provides an easy way to better understand county resilience in terms of flood hazards, critical facilities, jobs, businesses, and more.

Users choose their county and topic of interest and the tool does the rest, automatically combining complex data sets to create county-specific insights. The resulting charts and graphics are easy to understand and are used to show community leaders and the public where the county is most vulnerable.

This tool creates a collection of user-defined maps that show the people, places, and natural resources exposed to coastal flooding. The maps can be saved, downloaded, or shared to communicate flood exposure and potential impacts.

This course provides baseline information about the various types of flooding and teaches methods for mapping current flooding and potential coastal inundation scenarios using a GIS. Hands-on exercises will help participants understand and apply the spatial methods covered in this course. Students connect to Web map services, access elevation and water level data, convert between vertical datums, create and manage digital elevation models, map inundation model output, develop inundation zones, and map sea level rise using modeled tidal surfaces.
