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 project overview describes a project led by Elkorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve to communicate the results of a recent national synthesis of NERR Sentinel Site data on marsh resilience to sea level rise.

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 workshop report summarizes the March 2019 scoping session for a collaborative project to assess the potential effects of storm surge barriers on the Hudson River estuary.

This webinar, part of NOAA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Restoration Webinar Series, describes how the ACE Basin Reserve expanded living shorelines within the reserve to reduce climate change vulnerability.

This webinar, which originally aired on December 12, 2013, discusses the Tijuana River Reserve's collaborative efforts to develop a vulnerability assessment that informs an adaptation strategy to address sea level rise and riverine flooding.

Southern California ’s coastal environments are under intense development pressure. In the Tijuana River Valley, this pressure translates into the fragmentation and loss of coastal wetlands that provide invaluable services, such as water quality protection.

These resources are from workshops, focus groups, and surveys that a team from North Inlet-Winyah Bay and ACE Basin reserves used to scope their 2012 Collaborative Research project, "Advancing Low Impact Development in Coastal South Carolina."
