Green infrastructure, or living shorelines, are a naturally-based approach implemented to increase coastal resilience. This term in the context of its coastal application refers to the usage of naturally occurring and or human-initiated restoration design with the intent of enhancing the presence of these inherently occurring protective properties. Ultimately, green infrastructure aims to minimize threats that coastal regions are pre-exposed to such as excessive flooding, erosion, and runoff. This practice, therefore, aids in the mitigation of coastline exposure by creating a natural barrier to serve as reinforcement between the vulnerable coasts and any onset of detrimental threats. Due to this definition's alignment with the ideals of the coastal management field, green infrastructure can and should be considered a branch within this division.
