Port Phillip and Western Port Living Shorelines

The Restoration Explorer allows users to identify which nature-based technique(s) could work best in reducing coastal erosion, while promoting the multiple benefits of healthy coastal habitats. It currently provides guidance on four specific living shoreline techniques: Marsh and Mangrove Enhancement, Marsh and Mangrove Enhancement with Structures, Beach Enhancement, and Living Breakwaters. Definitions are provided within the Restoration Explorer. This beta version of the Restoration Explorer was created as a demonstration of the potential for decision support tool development in the Greater Melbourne region and has not been vetted by partners. Full documentation of the development of the beta version can be found here.
