Coastal and nearshore communities face increasing coastal flood hazards associated with climate change, leading to overland flow and inundation processes in the natural and built environments. As communities seek to build resilience to address these hazards, natural infrastructure (e.g., emergent vegetation) and hybrid designs have been identified for their potential to attenuate storm-driven waves and associated effects in developed nearshore regions. However, challenges remain in robustly characterizing the performance of natural systems under a range of incident hydrodynamic conditions and in bridging interdisciplinary knowledge gaps needed for successful implementation. This paper synthesizes field and laboratory results investigating the capacity ofRhizophora mangle(red mangrove) systems to mitigate wave effects. Field measurements during overland flow conditions on a mangrove island in the Gulf of Mexico near Key West, FL, USA are also presented. Notably, these measurements were collected during Hurricane Ida. Results indicate thatR. mangleforests of moderate cross-shore width have significant effects on wave transformation and load reduction in sheltered inland areas. Opportunities for future interdisciplinary collaborations are also identified.
