Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS)—solutions to societal challenges that involve
working with nature—have recently gained popularity as an integrated approach that can …

Nature‐based solutions (NbS) to climate change currently have considerable political
traction. However, national intentions to deploy NbS have yet to be fully translated into …

Abstract The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the
disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon …

Climate change is increasing the threat of erosion and flooding along coastlines globally.
Engineering solutions (eg seawalls and breakwaters) in response to protecting coastal …

The growing number of artificial structures in estuarine, coastal and marine environments is
causing “ocean sprawl”. Artificial structures do not only modify marine and coastal …

There is substantial evidence that natural infrastructure (ie, healthy ecosystems) and
combinations of natural and built infrastructure (“hybrid” approaches) enhance coastal …

Over recent years, many coastal engineering projects have employed the use of soft
solutions as these are generally less environmentally damaging than hard solutions …

Coastal communities around the world face an increasing risk from flooding as a result of
rising sea level, increasing storminess and land subsidence,. Salt marshes can act as …
