A SAGE member recently shared this report thinking that it would provide good information for those of us who are considering coastal resiliency in New England and beyond. According to the executive summary, "This report provides a range of practical considerations for property managers, regulators, coastal municipal leaders, scientists and practitioners, who are interested in advancing living shoreline policies and practices. The living shoreline profiles provide an overview of the techniques, conceptual designs, case studies, siting characteristics and design considerations and regulatory and review agencies that oversee the designs. Additionally, an applicability index has been developed for common living shoreline types in New England. It is intended to serve as a guide for the development of regulations and policies to explicitly incorporate these approaches into the coastal management programs of the respective states and New England’s coastal communities."
