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 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.

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 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 handbook, the result of a 2010 Collaborative Research project, offers suggestions for practical ways that landowners and land managers can protect shore zones and increase the benefits they provide.
