About This Guide

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). 2019. Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Highway Resilience: An Implementation Guide. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration.

Nature‐Based Solutions for Coastal Highway Resilience: An Implementation Guide is intended to help transportation practitioners understand how nature-based solutions (NBS) and hybrid green-gray solutions can reduce coastal flooding, wave heights, and erosion and thereby improve the resilience of coastal roads and bridges. The guide provides information on every stage of NBS, from planning to constructing and maintaining NBS practices. The guide also provides information on the cobenefits of NBS.
