This climate adaptation planning toolkit compiles lessons learned by five National Estuarine Research Reserves. It is designed to help communities set goals and identify specific indicators to evaluate progress toward a climate resilient future.

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

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.
