Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

To bring to fruition the capability of nature-based solutions (NBS) in mitigating hydro-
meteorological risks (HMRs) and facilitate their widespread uptake require a consolidated …

There is great interest in the restoration and conservation of coastal habitats for protection
from flooding and erosion. This is evidenced by the growing number of analyses and …

As exposure to coastal hazards increases there is growing interest in nature-based solutions
for risk reduction. This study uses high-resolution flood and loss models to quantify the …

Coastal ecosystems, particularly intertidal wetlands and reefs (coral and shellfish), can play
a critical role in reducing the vulnerability of coastal communities to rising seas and coastal …

This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

Background Many mangrove ecosystems are periodically exposed to high velocity winds
and surge from tropical cyclones, and often recover with time and continue to provide …

For more than a century, coastal wetlands have been recognized for their ability to stabilize
shorelines and protect coastal communities. However, this paradigm has recently been …

Salt marsh and mangrove have been recognized as being among the most valuable
ecosystem types globally in terms of their supply of ecosystem services and support for …

Field observations and numerical simulations indicate that the 6-to-30-km-wide mangrove
forest along the Gulf Coast of South Florida effectively attenuated storm surges from a …
