Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognized as effective measures for mitigating flood risks and enhancing climate change adaptation. However, evaluating their efficacy in delivering risk reduction ecosystem service (FRR-ESS) is usually limited by reliance on qualitative, expert-based "quick-scan" scoring methods. While already challenging present-day evaluations, this limitation becomes even more significant when addressing future scenarios, introducing deep uncertainties the evaluation. The present study introduces a model-based framework to quantify FRR-ESS provided coastal NbS, which integrates assessments with quantitative results from an eco-hydro-morphodynamic numerical model. model enables comparative evaluation of individual combined effects NbS following Building Blocks approach. By integrating habitat map prediction evaluation, response storm scenarios (i.e. wave sea level rise) investigated. methodology applied Mediterranean lagoon Sicily (Italy), can be easily adapted diverse ecosystems. Our findings underscore role habitats reducing highlight importance physically-based modelling into This approach provides robust flexible tool policymakers stakeholders make informed decisions that support both ecological sustainability disaster reduction.

Abstract Lumajang has approximately 75 km of coastline, extending from Yosowilangun to Tempursari. Of these, 12 villages have been classified as Coastal villages. It is anticipated that these coastal will serve the primary base for management and marine areas. However, region subject erosion, observed in case TPI (Tempat Pelelangan Ikan) Tempursari Beach. The issue erosion beach area not received proper handling eroded by quite extensive severe. In response this issue, most common solutions, such construction seawalls breakwaters, are costly can unforeseen consequences surrounding vulnerable recent years, realisation prompted planners adopt an alternative approach protection environments, known Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). Nature-based solutions (NBS) constitute a category responsive beneficial responses enhance long-term ecosystem through utilisation natural processes. To address issues, ecosystems be restored, modified, rendered more adaptable or integrated. This study, particular, aims identify current problem using nature-based methods. end, it compile existing best practices tools solve occurring area. result study also contribute formulation strategies area, thereby facilitating resolution issues.

This study employs the XBeach surfbeat model (XBSB) to explore effects of vegetation on wave attenuation and dune erosion in a case Mexico Beach during Hurricane Michael. The XBSB was validated against laboratory experiments wave-induced by vegetation. In dunes Michael, different drag coefficients were evaluated investigate erosion. LiDAR data profiles before after Michael used for validation. findings reveal that significantly affects Under vegetated conditions, as coefficient value increases, also leading reduction An increase density enhances area, including reductions significant height flow velocity. However, rate change decreases increases. Through simulations under regular condition Beach, an optimal identified 800 units/m2.

Coastal areas are increasingly at risk due to climate change, necessitating innovative mitigation approaches. This study explores the integration of living environments, particularly aquatic vegetation, with conventional defence systems provide socially acceptable and nature-inclusive coastal systems. Through examining published literature, this identifies two perspectives: engineering ecological. From an perspective, wave propagation models simulation techniques for wave–vegetation interaction identified. Ecologically relevant marine vegetation is presented, based on its ecological features (morphology, biomechanics, buoyancy, variability) a novel categorization framework developed. The results challenge notion strict divide between Analysis existing reveals that many engineers consider vegetation-induced attenuation studies. However, computational limitations often lead simplifications. Furthermore, complex models, while offering detailed insight, limited small-scale experimental domains. Conversely, simpler suitable large-scale problems, may lack detail. suggests potential future approach numerical modelling combines high-resolution small large-scale, implicit operating ecosystem scale.
