Improving the success of hybrid living shorelines for coastal protection

该项目旨在提高混合生活海岸线的成功率，将红树林和牡蛎的恢复与工程结构相结合，以提高恢复成果和沿海灾害抵御能力。它预计将产生新的知识，对创新的沿海管理者领导的解决方案的有效性，尚未得到有力的评价。该项目的预期成果包括提供实际设计和大规模实施基于自然的沿海保护所需的技术准则。这将通过提高澳大利亚适应气候变化和沿海城市化造成的侵蚀和洪水风险增加的能力，提供重大的社会经济和环境效益。

This project aims to improve the success of hybrid living shorelines that combine the restoration of mangroves and oysters with engineered structures to enhance restoration outcomes and coastal hazard resilience. It expects to generate new knowledge on the effectiveness of innovative coastal-manager-led solutions that have not yet been robustly evaluated. Expected outcomes of this project include delivery of the technical guidelines needed to practically design and implement nature-based coastal protection at scale. This should provide significant socio-economic and environmental benefits through improving Australia’s capacity to adapt to increased erosion and flood risk caused by climate change and coastal urbanisation.
