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.

A primary goal of the NCBN (Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network) coastal geomorphological program is to provide information to park managers and to improve the understanding of the dynamic nature of coastlines, including the temporal and spatial patterns of change in NCBN parks, for use in management decisions and in describing the condition of marine and coastal areas.

This guide covers the main dune restoration techniques as well as helpful graphics to visualize the restoration process. Additional topics covered include maintenance, conserving shorebird habitat, and managing pedestrian use.

Focusing on the role that dunes play in the larger coastal system, this guide details the techniques of dune construction, improvement, and repair. A special emphasis is placed on maintaining beach access, including the construction of dune walkovers.

This webpage links to several resources and sites associated with FEMA's expanded coastal flood hazard studies and other coastal flood risk resiliency work. It discusses thier Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning framework, how they're updating their flood insurance studies and flood insurance rate maps, and mitigation best practices. 

This technical note gives information about planting designs, the qualities of dune species and planting techniques. Additional topics covered include fencing installation and site management.

The report focuses on translating marsh migration model results into implementing a successful project. Additional topics covered include monitoring, case studies, and overcoming barriers to marsh migration.

This guide is meant to help facilitate collaboration, create management plans, and conduct targeted actions plan for invasive species in the northeastern United States.

Provides a guide to planning and implementing a prescribed burn and reviewing the burn after it is complete.

This guide helps managers in the process of slash pile construction and burning.

This guide provides information for community managers on many different wildfire mitigation practices, including forest thinning.

This guide is meant ti inform local governments on community based public-private partnerships and alternative market-based tools for integrated green stormwater infrastructure.

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.

This strategy outlines the USFS’s interagency approach to confronting the wildfire crisis. It touches on collaborative burn strategies more broadly.

The Conservation Concerns Tool lets landowners build out a concerns list which they can take to their local USDA Service Center to assist with designing solutions to their concerns.

This document provides information on how to implement and maintain standard firebreaks. It also explains essential considerations to keep in mind when constructing these interventions.

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

Containing information about designing coral reef restoration projects specifically for reducing flood risk, this guide provides the key components needed to make a project successful. The authors outline federal funding available for coral reef restoration projects, including advice about the application process.

Monitoring is an integral component of every coral restoration project, making this guide especially valuable to coral restoration project managers. This resource lays out metrics for environmental, ecological, socioeconomic, and coral health.

This guide focuses on identifying the agents of coral reef degradation and developing a plan to mitigate these drivers of decline. The authors provide information on identifying signs of reef decline to inform the creation of relevant restoration goals.
