Cover; Title Page; Copyright; Preface; Contents; Figures; Tables; Summary; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; CHAPTER ONE: Introduction; Planning Objectives; Planning Under Uncertainty; Purpose of the Planning Tool; CHAPTER TWO: Model Description and Assumptions; Predictive Modeling Framework; Formulation of Alternatives; Basis of the Approach in Decision Theory; Objective Function and Developing Alternatives Using Optimization; Risk-Reduction Decision Driver; Land-Building Decision Driver; Objective Function; Metrics and Decision Criteria; Metrics; Decision Criteria; Constraints
Financial and Natural Resource Constraints Mutually Exclusive Project and Project Inclusion or Exclusion Constraints; Outcome Constraints; Modeling Projects Under Different Scenarios; Environmental Scenarios; Funding Scenarios; Key Assumptions in the Development of Alternatives; Risk-Reduction Projects Do Not Affect the Landscape or Ecosystem-Service Metrics, and Restoration Projects and Landscape Changes Do Not Affect Storm-Surge Risk; Physical and Biological Effects of Individual Projects Are Additive; Funding Scenarios Are Known; Funding Is Available for the Entire Implementation Period
Funding Cannot Be Saved for Use in Later Implementation Periods Projects Begin Planning and Design in the First Year of an Implementation Period; Project Effects Are Offset by Planning, Design, and Construction Time; Projects Must Continually Operate; Handling and Processing of Data Within the Planning Tool; MySQL Database; Analytical Module; General Algebraic Modeling System Optimization Module; Tableau Results Visualizer; CHAPTER THREE: Analytic Procedures; Characterization of Projects; Project Costs and Duration of Implementation; Conflicts Among Projects
Additional Project Attribute Information Modeling Project Effects; Flood Risk-Reduction Effects; Restoration Project Effects; Comparison of Individual Projects; Project Effects on Risk Reduction; Project Effects on Land and Ecosystem-Service Metrics; Project Effects Relative to Other Decision Criteria; Cost-Effectiveness; Formulation of Alternatives; Integrated Evaluation of Alternatives; Evaluation of Selected Alternatives Using Predictive Models Under Uncertainty; Comparisons of the Alternatives; CHAPTER FOUR: Analyses to Develop the Master Plan; Compare Individual Projects
Formulate Alternatives Establish the Funding Target and Funding Split; Define the Near-Term and Long-Term Balance; Assess Performance Under Uncertainty; Develop Alternatives to Meet Master Plan Objectives; Adjust Alternatives Using Expert Judgment; Define the Draft Master Plan; Review Projects and Outcomes for Different Alternatives; Define the Final Master Plan; Revise Project Data; Evaluate Public Comments; Revise the Draft Alternative for the Final Master Plan; Review Master Plan Projects and Outcomes; Post-Master Plan Analysis; CHAPTER FIVE: Conclusions
