4. Ra#onale :
Climate Change Impacts come much faster and are more intense
than originally an#cipated for
Tradi#onal plan and design of coastal infrastructure is no longer
adequate
Urgent need for another, more effec#ve, holis#c approach
Much
Faster,
More
Intense

5. Design
Data
Under
Pressure
• Design Data are based on trend analyses and scenarios
• All trends show considerable varia#on
• Actual changes in trends are only included aDer
considerable #me
• Trend Breaches are by defini#on not included
• Data are therefore basically outdated when it comes
to accelerated climate change

6. Ra#onale :
When extreme weather and hurricanes hit an area, most aIen#on
goes to the damage
Hardly or no aIen#on is given to those areas who have been hit too,
but with hardly any damage and the natural ability to recover quickly
Resilient by Nature is about what can be learned from those systems
and how to translate their characteris#cs to other areas which are
less resilient by themselves

8. • “Unlike typical storm surge effects on a mainland coastline and affected waterways, on an island the
surge moves around and over the land mass without the mounding up of water experienced on the
mainland.“
• “Storm surge and waves were not high enough to destroy many of the elevated homes on the less-‐
protected western end of the populated part of the island”

9. Resiliency
Quality
Features
:
• Relevant processes and data have been analyzed and assessed
• Characteris#cs which can be translated into hurricane resistant
breakwaters in other regions and climates
• Supported with similar cases known within the area itself and from
elsewhere
• The rela#ve small footprint also limits direct storm impact

Features
:
• Effec#ve with regard to Wave Impact Reduc#on (physical distance
and mangrove type dependent)
• Not effec#ve with regard to Accelerated Sea Level Rise
• Suitable for similar marine habitat condi#ons elsewhere
• Vulnerable for changes in ambient condi#ons, such as temperature
and silta#on
• Not suitable for other climate zones

13. Eco-‐Polder
• Polder type, diked area as extreme impact relief instrument (buffer)
• Designed to get flooded under extreme condi#ons by means of
spilling levees or weirs
• Allowing the water to come in controlled, thus reducing and slowing
down the direct impact on the mainland
• Vegeta#on in the polder can slow down the process even further
• Poten#al addi#onal use as storm water run off reservoir

Features
:
• Well tested, global concept with basically very few restric#ons
• Extensive research has been done such as in Northern Germany
[Ref. H.D. Niemeyer, 2001]
• Extremely effec#ve in terms of wave and water level set up reduc#on

15. More
Systems
with
Similar
Impact
Resiliency
Quali<es
Other systems with natural built in resiliency with regard
extreme weather impacts are :
• Coral Reefs / Ar#ficial Reefs
In analogy with hurricane shaped barriers
• Sequen#al Breakwaters
in analogy with mega-‐ripples
• Salt Marshes
In analogy with mangroves
In principle within the same window of opportunity as the
the systems just presented

16. The
“Resilient
by
Nature”
Approach
• Learn from systems with proven built in natural resilience in terms
of dimensions, behaviour, relevant processes, etc.
• Translate their characteris#cs to other places which are equally
exposed but less resilient
• On the basis of an holis#c approach, Implement as systems instead
of individual engineered solu#ons
• Toolbox, providing maximum flexibility and internal back-‐up and
redundancy
• As solu#on provider and overarching framework for engineered
components, such as structures
• Resilient
by
Nature
is a Game Changer

17. New
York
City
as
Example
USGS
• Hurricane Sandy (2012) has had a major impact on NYC (U$ 32 billion,
direct damage costs)
• NYC Resiliency Program “Rebuild by Design”
• Tradi#onal sta#c (river) waterfront approach, without aIen#on for
flexibility nor internal redundancy
• With what is called the “Dry Contour” as binding factor for ManhaIan
• No Adapta#on zones included so no space for yet unknown condi#ons
• First projects to go into execu#on this year.

New
York
City
as
Example
• Fixed boundaries of the exis#ng quay-‐walls and other
waterfront infrastructure
• Tradi#onal engineered (river bank) solu#ons
• Some landscaping planned on the dry features, but no
changes in the wet contour
• Many interfaces, hard to manage, performance risk

New
York
City
as
Example
• New York City has the need and all condi#ons for implementa#on of
a flexible, holis#c approach
• Big unknowns are the way the whole estuary will behave when the
next hurricane and related flood waves will hit the area
• It’s all about understanding and implemen#ng of relevant systems,
not engineered fixed structures with some occasional landscaping
• With the “Blue Dunes” ini#a#ve as a nice, first example of the
Resilient by Nature approach

21. Economy
• The economics behind what’s feasible or not will mainly be
determined on the basis of what’s already there, how much
modifica#on is required and what natural resiliency component(s) to
add, including related planning and #me scales
• Balanced against the immense costs of the material and immaterial
damage each major event causes
• Offers the poten#al of substan<al
addi<onal
social
and
economic
benefits from mul#-‐usage of the implemented systems, such as the
eco-‐polder, hurricane breakwater, eco-‐shield, etc.
• The Resilient
by
Nature approach is flexible, fully scalable to local
needs, means and possibili#es, thanks to its unique natural system
based characteris#cs

• Given the rapid changes and related uncertain#es and unknowns in
design data, there is definitely a need for an Holis#c Approach
• Resilient
by
Nature
offers the tools and experience to follow and
implement such an approach
• This will not happen overnight. More research is needed, other
systems added and confidence must grow
• Un#l full acceptance, it’s probably worth to compare and check
what has been planned and designed conven#onally with the
Resilient
by
Nature
iden#fied systems and check if it makes sense
what has been engineered as individual components
• Reference Document is available for poten#al partners
