Abstract:To inform the development of an implementation guide, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducted four regional peer exchanges in Spring 2018 on nature-based solutions that improve coastal highway resilience. This peer exchange summary provides a synthesis of the key examples of nature-based solutions and recommendations for successful planning and implementation. In addition, the report discusses challenges that can arise across planning, permitting, partnerships and engagement, engineering and design, and monitoring and maintenance. Similar challenges were identified at all four peer exchanges, including, for example: uncertainty around the performance of nature-based solutions; insufficient understanding of the costs and benefits of nature-based solutions and funding available for them; lengthy permitting processes; and complexities associated with the broad coordination required to implement and maintain nature-based solutions. The peer exchanges were held at: Mobile, Alabama – February 15, 2018; Oakland, California – April 10, 2018; Lewes, Delaware – April 17, 2018; and Wilmington, North Carolina – April 19, 2018.
