Living Shorelines: The Science and Management of Nature-based
Coastal Protection compiles, synthesizes and interprets the current
state of the knowledge on the science and practice of nature-based
shoreline protection. This book will serve as a valuable reference
to guide scientists, students, managers, planners, regulators,
environmental and engineering consultants, and others engaged in
the design and implementation of living shorelines. This volume
provides a background and history of living shorelines,
understandings on management, policy, and project designs,
technical synthesis of the science related to living shorelines
including insights from new studies, and the identification of
research needs, lessons learned, and perspectives on future
guidance. Makes recommendations on the correct usage of the term
living shorelines Offers guidance for shoreline management in the
future Includes lessons learned from the practice of shoreline
restoration/conservation Synthesizes regional perspectives to
identify strategies for the successful design and implementation of
living shorelines Reviews specific design criteria for successful
implementation of living shorelines Provides detailed discussions
of social, regulatory, scientific and technical considerations to
justify and design living shoreline projects International
perspectives are presented from leading researchers and managers in
the East, West and Gulf coasts of the United States, Europe,
Canada, and Australia that are working on natural approaches to
shoreline management. The broad geographic scope and
interdisciplinary nature of contributing authors will help to
facilitate dialogue and transfer knowledge among different
disciplines and across different regions. This book provides
coastal communities with the scientific foundation and practical
guidance necessary to implement effective shoreline management that
enhances ecosystem services and coastal resilience now and into the
future.
