The impacts of coastal damage and flooding are predicted to worsen during this century due to rising sea levels and increases in the frequency and intensity of storms. The usual approach to coastal protection in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean is to view both the hazards and the solutions from the ?Ocean Side? perspective and to react with ?hard? engineering solutions. These structural engineering approaches prevent damage and disruptions to services associated with predictable events but leave communities vulnerable to future events that do not follow historical trends. Furthermore, engineered structures do not adequately address the systemic nature of climate change nor account for compounding threats (e.g., coincidence of hurricane season and global pandemics). To move from this traditional strategy for managing risks from coastal hazards, we need to consider a portfolio of solutions that enhance island protection and community resilience. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are gaining attention as practical and cost-effective approaches for mitigating climate-based stressors. However, deployment of NBS strategies requires spatial coordination within the context of ?ridge to reef? or integrated water resource management (IWRM) approaches that include the creation of conditions for social acceptance, equity, effective governance, and financial incentives. 410 0$aEnvironmental Contamination Remediation and Management,$x2522-5855 606 $aBiology 606 $aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching 606 $aBiological Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 615 0$aBiology. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aBiological Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Studies. 676 $a570 676 $a333.7209729 700 $aMetcalfe$b C.
