Abstract
This presentation and paper describes the capacity of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) to reduce coastal storm hazards. Through a synthesis of existing literature and studies, as well as meta-analysis and traditional data analysis where possible, the salient characteristics and capabilities of NNBF at reducing storm surge, wave action, and erosion are characterized. The research specifically focuses on the capacity of aquatic vegetation, oyster and coral reefs, beaches, dunes, maritime forests, and barrier islands to reduce and/or mitigate these coastal hazards.
Highlights
This presentation and paper describes the capacity of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) to reduce reduction could be highly beneficial for both coastal human and ecological communities since, along with providing coastal storm hazards
The research focuses on the capacity of aquatic vegetation, oyster and coral reefs, beaches, dunes, maritime forests, and barrier islands to reduce and/or mitigate these coastal hazards
The use of NNBF has long been an environmentally preferred strategy for habitat and ecosystem restoration. Such features are frequently being considered as a means of reducing the risk of coastal hazards
Summary
This presentation and paper describes the capacity of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) to reduce reduction could be highly beneficial for both coastal human and ecological communities since, along with providing coastal storm hazards. NNBF in policies of storm hazard management and risk Through a synthesis of existing literature and studies, as well as meta-analysis and traditional data analysis where possible, the salient effective protection against storms it would enhance the health and productivity of coastal ecosystems (see Figure 1).
