This guide outlines a structured process to engage experts and develop timely, science-based solutions to environmental problems. The FAST process provides an iterative, weight-of-evidence approach for these experts to reach general agreement around technical recommendations.

This technical memo presents guidelines for calculating the pollutant removal rate of restored or constructed buffers established on shorelines with different soils, slopes and buffer widths. This tool can help New England communities use buffers to meet water quality standards and fulfill stormwater permitting requirements.

This document provides guidance to those wishing to use the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Tool for Coastal Habitats ("CCVATCH") - a decision support tool which guides users through a series of questions to calculate numerical climate vulnerability scores for ecological habitats.

This tool is a novel approach to compare the resilience of different marshes to sea level rise.

These process agendas provide a better understanding of how the CCVATCH tool may be applied over the course of one or multiple days by an assessment team.

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.

This tool, developed for the 2011 Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project, can be used to provide a rough quantification of site attributes known to affect biota and ecological processes in the shore zone.
