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.

This module provides training on integrating NBS and water quality issues into state or local Hazard Mitigation Plans. It includes discussion on funding, designing and planning these integrations.

This document outlines preferred culvert design guidelines when used as a crossing structure in fish-bearing streams per the USFWS Alaska Fish Passage Program. It includes design considerations, a site survey checklist, and pre- and mid-construction checklists.

This guide provides information on designing and maintaining green roofs in arid western states. It provides information on when certain types of green roofs are most appropriate and their different benefits.

The Data Access Viewer (DAV) allows a user to search for and download elevation (lidar), imagery, and land cover data for the coastal U.S. and its territories. 

These reforms acknowledge the shared responsibility for disaster response and recovery, aim to reduce the complexity of FEMA, and build the nation’s capacity for the next catastrophic event. The law contains 56 distinct provisions that require FEMA policy or regulation changes for full implementation, and includes discussion on mitigation strategies that include NBS. This page provides an overview of each provision.

Covering dune ecology and engineering, this guide gives specific instructions for restoring both front and back dune ecosystems. Additional topics covered include season variability, dune breaches, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) dune standards, and invasive species.

This modules explain different approaches for economic analysis, including guidance on benefit-cost analysis and ecosystem service valuation.

This self-paced training module gives a high-level overview of the basic economic approaches, analyses and terminology necessary to accurately estimate the value of a project/effectively incorporate economic data into planning.

Individualized guidance for each US ecoregion detailing the plants appropriate for pollinator gardens in that region.

Individualized guidebooks for each US ecoregion detailing the pollinators and plants appropriate for pollinator gardens in that region.

This webpage allows people to report invasive species, monitor current distribution, learn about management methods, and get species information.

In a search to find the most effective restoration practices, the authors reviewed numerous restoration projects. Additionally, the guide includes case studies and recommendations to practitioners.

This site includes free tools, data and technical expertise about energy strategies, including energy efficiency, renewable energy and other emerging technologies, to help state, local and tribal governments achieve their environmental, energy, and economic objectives. While many of these resources were developed for state and local governments, Tribes may also find them useful. Several of these tools include programs that users can use to estimate future impacts of energy use, predict costs, and estimate benefits. 

This guidebook compiles several case studies illustrating alternative approaches to riverbank stabilization across Washington state.

This document highlights engineering with nature (EWN) principles/projects by providing illustrations and descriptions of constructed projectsaround the contiguous U.S. and globe.

Handbook for coastal communities and public agencies that can inform the protection, management, and restoration of mangroves. Focuses primarily on high-level policy guidance.

EnviroAtlas data and resources can be used to inform a range of projects, from regional to local scales. This easy to use, interactive mapping application does not require any GIS skills to use and provides ready access to 536 map layers likegreen space per capita, mammal species richness or percent developed area and multiple analysis tools. EPA uses this tool for uses like project implementation (e.g. permitting) and designing targeted outreach strategies, but the site includes a repository of diverse ways this tool can be used in advancing all types of environmental work. 

This resource hub includes several links that EPA has backed to help communities implement green stormwater infrastructure projects. These include links to maps, a green infrastructure scorecard tool, planning/design/and implementation tools and guidbeooks, links to funding opportunities, links to climate modeling tools, collaboration guides/support, and a library of resources specific to implementing green stormwater infrastructure to meet Clean Water Act requirements.

How's My Waterway was designed to provide the general public with information about the condition of their local waters based on data that states, federal, tribal, local agencies and others have provided to EPA. Water quality information is displayed on 3 scales in How’s My Waterway; community, state and national.
