Clay ripening and consolidation is a means to beneficially use dredge fine sediment, for example to construct or upgrade coastal protection in the area.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>

Nature corridors are important conduits that connect, protect and improve existing ecosystems.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Vegetated foreshores improve dike resilience and enhance flood defenses while at the same provide esthetic value and room for nature.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>

Strategically placing dredged sediments can stimulate the growth of an ecosystem, make a coast more resilient and reduce dredging costs.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Constructing nature islands can beneficially influence sediment transport patterns, improve the overall health of the ecosystem and create new nature for plants, birds and other animals.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Strategic realignment of the shoreline can be a cost-effective strategy to reduce flooding, expand flood storage, anticipate sea level rise and create opportunities for wetland development.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Secondary channels increase the flood conveyance capacity of rivers, support habitat development and can enhance the natural, recreational, and cultural value of the riverine landscape.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Wetland forests in front of traditional earthen barriers can reduce wave heights, thereby reducing flood risk, while at the same time providing habitat value and supporting biodiversity.  More info<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n \"\" <\/div>\n\n
