Nature-Based Engineering: A Review on Reducing Coastal Flood Risk With Mangroves

چکیده
Integration of mangroves in projects to reduce coastal flood risk is increasingly being recognised as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. In addition the construction conventional hard protection infrastructure, not only contribute attenuating events ( functionality ), they also recover in, adapt to, changing climate persistence ). The implementation reduction, however, remains complex. This because innate depend on range environmental conditions. Importantly, may collapse when impacts or climatic changes exceed key system thresholds, bringing uncertainty into situation where failure could endanger lives livelihoods. uncertainties mangrove can be dealt with by (1) improving insights how ecological physical processes affect across scales, (2) advancing tools accurately assess predict persistence, (3) adopting an adaptive management approach combined appropriate engineering interventions enhance persistence. Here, we review existing evidence, monitoring techniques modelling approaches from viewpoint Inspired guidelines for Nature-based Solutions (NbS) risk, provide operationalization this new approach. addition, identify further research efforts are required practical application management. Key aspects variability their recovery mechanisms, which greatly site- storm-specific. We propose five characteristic damage regimes that result increasing reductions well post-storm periods. Further quantification these thresholds successful integration Ultimately, challenge development strategies optimise long-term resilience. Such should informed continued assessments, based supported through well-established guidelines.

Mangroves as indicators of coastal change
In view of the unique biological characteristics of mangroves, it is interesting to assess the extent to which these ecosystems can be used as indicators of coastal change or sea-level rise. From recent studies of mangrove mortality at several locations (including Guiana, Gambia, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, India and Bangladesh), it appears that these coastal ecosystems are so specialized that any mi...

Nature, Socioeconomics and Flood Mortality
We analyze mortality caused by 2,194 large flood events between 1985 and 2008 in 108 countries. Unlike previous studies that looked at naturaldisaster mortality, we find that year-to-year changes in income and institutional determinants of vulnerability do not affect flood mortality directly. Income and institutions influence mortality only indirectly, through their impact on the intensity and ...
