This guide addresses the use of green infrastructure and nature-based solutions to reduce flooding, wave heights, and erosion along coastal highways. It examines the assessment, planning, and implementation processes of tactics including marsh vegetation, marsh breakwater, marsh sills, beach nourishment, pocket beaches, and dune restoration. The guide includes site characterization resources, nature-based solution decision trees, performance metrics for monitoring, and additional tools and resources as appendices.
