  1. Summary of Report on Coastal RiskReduction and Resilience

  2. Key Points • Coastlines, now and even more so in the future, are especially vulnerable to threats posed by tides and coastal storms, due to geologic processes, changing climate, and ongoing development of coastline • We must unambiguously communicate the nature and intent of risk reduction measures: natural, nature-based, nonstructural, structural • Natural and nature-based measures are capable of improving the quality and resilience of economic, ecologic, and social systems • USACE has long recognized the value of integrated approaches to risk reduction incorporating natural and nature-based features in addition to nonstructural and structural measures (Jadwin, MsCIP) • Quantification of performance of coastal risk reduction measures is a knowledge gap that should be addressed in the near future

  3. Coastal Risk Reduction & Resilience Measures

  4. Natural and Nature-Based Features at a Glance
