Guidance for Considering the Use of Living Shorelines describes the role of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in implementing living shorelines and the science, tools, and training the agency uses to guide these projects. The conceptual framework included in this guidance aims to help NOAA and its implementation partners determine if a living shoreline is an appropriate solution and plan shoreline stabilization projects. The guidance describes NOAA’s living shorelines guiding principles and “highlights NOAA’s role in providing science, tools, and training to help inform the selection of appropriate techniques. It also discusses the agency’s role in reviewing living shoreline projects” (4) and offers a conceptual framework of 12 questions to help plan a shoreline stabilization effort.
