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 resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the April 2019 webinar New Research to Inform Living Shoreline Design, Placement and Monitoring.

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 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.
