A Parameterized Approach to Estimating Wave Attenuation from Living Shorelines
Living shorelines and other nature-based solutions have become more widely accepted as a cost-effective, multi-functional, and sustainable approach to coastal resilience. However, in spite of growing stakeholder support, a planning-level understanding of the hydrodynamic impact of living shorelines …

A Comparison of Natural, Living, and Hardened Shorelines Ability to Prevent Coastal Erosion and Maintain a Healthy Ecosystem
… I focused on two manmade methods, hardened, and living shorelines, of coastal protection for when the natural marsh suffers excess erosion rates. Living shorelines are a suite of shoreline conservation and restoration techniques that usually involve some sort of hardened structure that dampens …

Effects of shoreline development and freshwater discharge on nekton assemblage and trophic structure in a northern Gulf of Mexico estuary
… managers have begun incentivizing the use of living shorelines (LS), erosion control structures incorporating native plantings, to mitigate ecological consequences of marsh loss. However, post-restoration climate changes may shift habitat templates and negate positive effects of ecosystem …

Weathering the storms : new suburban typology for coastal cities through a case study on Winthrop, MA
… event of failure. Soft solutions like dunes and living shorelines have stabilizing effects but they are moderate in their effectiveness and will not protect against significant sea level rise or major storms. Strategies involving retreat is a sure way to remove people and properties from harm's …

Geotechnical Investigation and Characterization of Bivalve-Sediment Interactions
… farms that could act as mats of interconnected living barriers, protecting the seabed from scour. The mats would help to attract larval settlement by making the substrate a more suitable habitat, contributing to the sustainability of the bivalve farms. Colonies of bivalves are already being used …
