N-EWN Seminar: Dutch experience with beaches and dunes as coastal Natural and Nature Based Features for Flood Risk Management – An overview of 30 years of nature-based coastline management
Coastal erosion threatens beaches and dunes globally. In the Netherlands, a coastline maintenance policy was implemented in the 1990’s to combat this erosion, with sand nourishments as the primary means. As a result, the Dutch coast is one of the most heavily nourished coasts globally with an average of 12 mln. m3 that is annually […]
N-EWN Seminar: Waterfront Design for Resilient Communities
This webinar will discuss emerging trends in waterfront design with a focus on embedding resilience, providing access, and ecology in urban waterfronts. The presentation will include an overview of the Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines (WEDG®) and case study projects from riverine, lacustrine, and coastal waterfronts across the U.S. The Network for Engineering With Nature® (N-EWN) invites […]
N-EWN Seminar: Streamlined Success: Delivering Fish Passage in Complex Urban Systems
Fish passage restoration is a cornerstone of aquatic ecosystem conservation and resilience. Restoring access to historic habitats supports healthy fish populations and benefits entire riverine and marine ecosystems, vital to biodiversity and the revitalization of commercial and recreational fisheries, which in turn creates jobs and increases ecological and economic resilience in rivers that run through […]
N-EWN Seminar: Beyond the Dredge: Boosting Remediation Impact with Nature-Based Solutions – The Money Point Case
Located on the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake, Virginia, Money Point was once among the most contaminated sites on the Chesapeake Bay. Decades of industrial activity, including wood treatment operations, left the riverbed coated with toxic creosote. By 2006, the river bottom was biologically dead, and the few remaining fish showed high […]
N-EWN Seminar: Harnessing Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) as a Natural Infrastructure Tool for Water Quality & Biodiversity
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), encompassing both freshwater macrophytes and saltwater seagrasses, serves as a powerful natural infrastructure tool for enhancing water quality and biodiversity. The presentation “Harnessing Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) as a Natural Infrastructure Tool for Water Quality & Biodiversity” investigates how SAV can be engineered into hybrid green/gray infrastructure and restoration projects across […]
