The US Army Corps of Engineers organized and conducted a short course titled, “Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for Coastal Resilience” in association with the International Conference on Coastal Engineering (ICCE) 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland. The short course included a range of topics with a focus on current and emerging NNBF applications in coastal settings. Course lectures were offered by 14 speakers from a diverse set of organizations that are applying Engineering With Nature (EWN) practices in pursuit of enhanced coastal resilience. Throughout the one-day course, participants were provided on: NNBF practices that promote coastal resilience and flood risk reduction; applications and utility of specific NNBF types (e.g., beaches/dunes, wetlands, reefs, islands, etc.); benefits analysis that includes engineering, environmental, and socio-economic components; information on example NNBF projects; the importance of community and stakeholder engagement; and insight into current R&D efforts that support NNBF solutions and strategies.
