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 project overview describes a 2015 Collaborative Research project that is developing and field-validating rapid assessment protocols for physical and ecological functions of ecologically-enhanced shorelines.

This project overview describes a 2015 Science Transfer project that developed products to support New York State decision makers considering nature-based shoreline approaches and other natural resilience measures.

This article provides a comprehensive summary of what is known about the ecological functioning of the shore zone in freshwater ecosystems.

This article, published as part of the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project in 2012, reports on an effort to document the biodiversity supported by different kinds of shore zones in the Hudson River Estuary.

This article, published in Hydrobiologia in 2014, reports on research into the ecology of wrack (organic matter that is washed onto shore) on different types of Hudson River shorelines (natural and engineered) as part of a 2010 Collaborative Research project.

This article, produced as part of the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project, is a comprehensive analysis of the abundance and composition of vegetation living in riprap revetments on Hudson River shorelines.

This project overview describes a 2010 Collaborative Research project that advanced understanding of the economic, ecological, and engineering tradeoffs associated with different shoreline management options on New York's Hudson River.
