Enhancing Coordination on Shoreline Management and Resilience Measures in New York State - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Published by Office for Coastal Management | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: February 07, 2026 | Last Modified: 2017-09-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
The Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve will work collaboratively with New York State agencies to capture what is known about nature-based shoreline stabilization approaches and other natural and nature-based features to reduce risk and enhance resilience. This will include joint review of existing policies, practices, and guidance; exploration of opportunities to enhance these programs and guidance; and recommendations for new or updated decision support frameworks. The team will facilitate the information exchange among agencies and consensus on how and where to promote and implement nature-based shoreline protection and natural resilience measures in New York. The project will ultimately result in a significantly higher percentage of shoreline management projects that are designed to benefit natural habitats and reduce risk for human communities. This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.
