Living Shorelines Project Database (NESP MaC 1.10)

Statement: We used a combination of stakeholder interviews and a review of published and grey literature. Some projects identified through the literature did not contain all the information needed in one paper or report. In these instances, the Google search engine was used to find more information, which was frequently obtained through council or organisation websites or news articles. Occasionally, this process led to more projects being found incidentally, and these were also included in the database. | Credit National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine and Coastal (MaC) Hub | This is a database of nature-based ("soft" or "hybrid") coastal protection projects from across Australia. The database will act as a tool to help coastal managers make informed decisions by providing as many examples as possible of where these solutions have been used, how they were used and how effective they are in different contexts. The information in this database was collected through direct engagement with coastal managers and stakeholders, a literature search, and informal internet searching.
