  • Arts-led co-creation in contested coastal futures

    Open AccessDiego Galafassi, Shane Akoni Palact-Nelsen et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026

    Coastal social-ecological systems face intensifying pressures from climate change, extractive industries, and competing claims to space and resources. These conflicts carry profound justice dimensions about who benefits from coastal resources and whose knowledge counts in decision-making. Beyond technical management challenges, we can view these as contested futures where different groups envision fundamentally different possibilities for places …

  • A global systematic review of socio-economic impact assessments of high-tide flooding

    Open AccessYicheng Xu, Hannah Sirianni et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Human Dynamics2025References: 8

    High-tide flooding (HTF) is an increasingly frequent and disruptive phenomenon in coastal regions worldwide, driven by rising local sea levels. Despite recent attention to the drivers of this emerging flood hazard, the scope and extent of socio-economic impacts of HTF impacts are not well understood. This study presents a global systematic review of studies that quantitatively assess the socio-economic impacts of HTF. A total of 993 peer-reviewed…

  • Quantifying the fragility of coral reefs to hurricane impacts

    Open AccessIan Madden, Arnav Mariwala et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Ecosystems like coral reefs mitigate rising coastal flood risks, but investments into their conservation remain low relative to the investments into engineered risk-mitigation structures. One reason is that quantifying the risk-reduction benefits of coral reefs requires an estimate of their fragility to severe stresses. Engineered structures typically have associated fragility functions which predict the probability of exceeding a damage state wi…

  • Overcoming challenges for implementing nature-based solutions in deltaic environments

    Open AccessAnimesh K Gain, Mohammed Mofizur Rahman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The Ganges-Brahmaputra (GB) delta is one of the most disaster-prone areas in the world due to a combination of high population density and exposure to tropical cyclones, floods, salinity intrusion and other hazards. Due to the complexity of natural deltaic processes and human influence on these processes, structural solutions like embankments are inadequate on their own for effective hazard mitigation. This article examines nature-based solutions…

  • Harnessing Big Data to Support the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Mangrove Forests Globally

    Open AccessThomas A Worthington, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020

    Mangrove forests are found on sheltered coastlines in tropical, subtropical, and some warm temperate regions. These forests support unique biodiversity and provide a range of benefits to coastal communities, but as a result of large-scale conversion for aquaculture, agriculture, and urbanization, mangroves are considered increasingly threatened ecosystems. Scientific advances have led to accurate and comprehensive global datasets on mangrove exte…

  • Harnessing Big Data to Support the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Mangrove Forests Globally

    Open AccessThomas A Worthington, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020

    (One Earth 2, 429–443; May 22, 2020) In the preparation of the originally published perspective, text from an internal Nature Conservancy working document was unfortunately included without proper attribution to its authors, who are not co-authors of this paper. In the online version of the article, the section “Prioritization of Conservation and Rehabilitation” has now been corrected to cite the framework developed by McGowan et al. (as referenc…

  • The Effectiveness, Costs and Coastal Protection Benefits of Natural and Nature-Based Defences

    Open AccessSiddharth Narayan, Martha W Beck et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2016

    There is great interest in the restoration and conservation of coastal habitats for protection from flooding and erosion. This is evidenced by the growing number of analyses and reviews of the effectiveness of habitats as natural defences and increasing funding world-wide for nature-based defences-i.e. restoration projects aimed at coastal protection; yet, there is no synthetic information on what kinds of projects are effective and cost effectiv…
