Operationalizing resilience: co-creating a framework to monitor hard, natural, and nature-based shoreline features in New York State

There is growing interest in the application of nature-based solutions to adapt to climate change and promote resilience, yet barriers exist to their implementation. These include a perceived lack of evidence of their functioning in comparison to conventional solutions and an inability for existing...
