Journal ArticleDOI
The Effectiveness, Costs and Coastal Protection Benefits of Natural and Nature-Based Defences.
Siddharth Narayan,Michael W. Beck,Borja G. Reguero,Inigo J. Losada,Bregje K. van Wesenbeeck,Nigel Pontee,James N. Sanchirico,Jane Carter Ingram,Glenn Marie Lange,Kelly A. Burks-Copes +9 more
TL;DR: The comparison of costs of nature-based defence projects and engineering structures show that salt-marshes and mangroves can be two to five times cheaper than a submerged breakwater for wave heights up to half a metre and, within their limits, become more cost effective at greater depths.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Value of Coastal Wetlands for Flood Damage Reduction in the Northeastern USA.
Siddharth Narayan,Michael W. Beck,Michael W. Beck,Paul Wilson,Christopher Thomas,Alexandra Guerrero,Christine C. Shepard,Borja G. Reguero,Borja G. Reguero,Guillermo Franco,Jane Carter Ingram,Dania Trespalacios +11 more
TL;DR: This study uses high-resolution flood and loss models to quantify the impacts of coastal wetlands in the northeastern USA on regional flood damages by Hurricane Sandy and local annual flood losses in Barnegat Bay in Ocean County, New Jersey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave dissipation by vegetation with layer schematization in SWAN
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the wave dissipation over a vegetation field by the implementation of the Mendez and Losada formulation in a full spectrum model SWAN, with an extension to include a vertical layer schematization for the vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Flood Protection Benefits of Mangroves
Pelayo Menéndez,Pelayo Menéndez,Inigo J. Losada,Saúl Torres-Ortega,Siddharth Narayan,Siddharth Narayan,Michael W. Beck,Michael W. Beck +7 more
TL;DR: The value of mangroves as natural coastal defenses at global, national and local scales can inform incentives for mangrove conservation and restoration in development, climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction and insurance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature-based solutions: lessons from around the world
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider an emerging group of coastal management approaches that offer the potential to reduce coastal flood and erosion risks while also providing nature conservation, aesthetic and amenity benefits.
