Coastal Engineering – Origin Story
Lothal Dockyard, India, ~ 2300 BCE. Credits: https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/shipping-and-maritime-trade-of-the-indus-people/
“The high degree of engineering skill achieved … can be understood from the ingenious way in which they could regulate the flow of water into the dock at high and low tides. They could ensure flotation of ships in the basin by sliding a door in the vertical grooves of the flanking walls of the spillway at low water.”

• Mangroves reduce wave heights by 60% @ 2.4 kilometers (1.5 miles) away
• If Mangroves are removed
• Wave height of 1.66% annual probability 5% annual probability
• Wave height of 14.3% annual probability 100% annual probability
• Optimum size of mangrove forest – 300 to 800 m

RequestforWorkingGroupProposals

Science for Nature and People Partnership
Request for Proposals Due Date: 25 April 2016, 9:00 am PDT
Website: www.snap.is For inquiries email [email protected]
The Science for People and Nature Partnership (SNAPP) was founded by The Nature
Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the National Center for Ecological
Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The SNAP
Partnership delivers evidence-based, scalable solutions for problems at the collective interface of
economic development, nature conservation, and human well-being. SNAPP funds and convenes
multidisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations to catalyze innovative solutions with a clear
pathway to implementation. We are pleased to announce the fourth annual Request for Proposals
(RFP) for working groups to fill important knowledge gaps and advance solutions for people and
nature. In this RFP, we are especially interested in receiving proposals from the development and
humanitarian sectors as well as academia, governmental agencies, and conservation
organizations.
In September 2015, the United Nations adopted a new sustainable development agenda to end
poverty, protect the environment, and provide prosperity for all people. To advance the
sustainable development agenda, professionals from conservation and development fields must
collaborate in inclusive, flexible, and innovative ways. With 23 SNAPP working groups that
collectively include over 400 participants, representing 200 institutions from more than 30
countries, SNAPP is providing an opportunity for such engagements. SNAPP is rapidly
converting research into action by generating the type of applied science that today’s complex
problems demand. The SNAP Partnership is inviting applicants to submit working group
proposals to help realize the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Interested applicants should carefully review the information in this RFP including AppendixA:
Proposal Table. Proposals most likely to succeed are developed in collaboration with a member
of the SNAP Partnership (see page 5). To apply, proposals should be uploaded as a PDF at
http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/snap/rfpform by 9:00 am PDT on Monday, 25 April 2016.
Late or incomplete submissions will be returned without review.

1.Catastrophic Events:
• >625 Million US$ during Hurricane Sandy
• >10% on average where wetlands remain
2.Annual Flooding:
• Properties with marshes save >16% in average annual losses
• Benefits especially significant in lower elevation (high-risk) areas
3.Wetland conservation and restoration
• Can reduce risk from extreme event flooding
• Can provide benefits to communities upstream

Take – Home Messages
• Engineers will increasingly have to work with other disciplines
• For coastal issues, engineering with nature works.
• This shift in how we solve problems is both challenging and exciting

Science for Nature and People Partnership
Request for Proposals Due Date: 25 April 2016, 9:00 am PDT
Website: www.snap.is For inquiries email [email protected]
The Science for People and Nature Partnership (SNAPP) was founded by The Nature
Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the National Center for Ecological
Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The SNAP
Partnership delivers evidence-based, scalable solutions for problems at the collective interface of
economic development, nature conservation, and human well-being. SNAPP funds and convenes
multidisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations to catalyze innovative solutions with a clear
pathway to implementation. We are pleased to announce the fourth annual Request for Proposals
(RFP) for working groups to fill important knowledge gaps and advance solutions for people and
nature. In this RFP, we are especially interested in receiving proposals from the development and
humanitarian sectors as well as academia, governmental agencies, and conservation
organizations.
In September 2015, the United Nations adopted a new sustainable development agenda to end
poverty, protect the environment, and provide prosperity for all people. To advance the
sustainable development agenda, professionals from conservation and development fields must
collaborate in inclusive, flexible, and innovative ways. With 23 SNAPP working groups that
collectively include over 400 participants, representing 200 institutions from more than 30
countries, SNAPP is providing an opportunity for such engagements. SNAPP is rapidly
converting research into action by generating the type of applied science that today’s complex
problems demand. The SNAP Partnership is inviting applicants to submit working group
proposals to help realize the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Interested applicants should carefully review the information in this RFP including AppendixA:
Proposal Table. Proposals most likely to succeed are developed in collaboration with a member
of the SNAP Partnership (see page 5). To apply, proposals should be uploaded as a PDF at
http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/snap/rfpform by 9:00 am PDT on Monday, 25 April 2016.
Late or incomplete submissions will be returned without review.
