Gated storm surge barriers have been constructed or proposed in many estuaries worldwide for coastal flood risk reduction.

Rising coastal flood risk and recent disasters are driving interest in the construction of gated storm surge barriers worldwide, with current studies recommending barriers for at least 11 estuaries in the United States alone.

This data resource includes marsh vegetation, water level data and modeling outputs from a project that examined how Piermont Marsh in New York buffers the impacts of storms.

This guidance report from New York State ’s Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of State provides an overview of natural resilience measures and how they can reduce risk of flooding and erosion.

This website houses the Rapid Assessment Protocol for assessing the physical and ecological performance of nature-based engineered shoreline structures. You can also access additional resources associated with the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines Project, including demonstration site case studies along the Hudson River.

This dataset includes a suite of measures of ecological and physical functions of built sustainable shoreline structures at a set of demonstration sites along the Hudson River.

This manual was developed as part of the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines Project and describes simple, low-cost, representative methods for evaluating the function and integrity of ecologically enhanced shoreline projects.

As part of the 2010 Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project, the project team conducted this forensic analysis of six sites on the Hudson River to study how each site responded to severe storms.

This model was developed by the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project team and can be used to understand the energy regimes impacting shorelines and to help identify suitable shoreline stabilization alternatives for sites along the Hudson River.

This dataset is a compilation of observed ice data statistics from United States Coast Guard daily ice reports along the tidal Hudson River during ice season and it includes linked aerial photographs as well as complete record data charts for river stretches and choke points.
