Monthly Meeting Update: Distribution of Project Goals

The Living with Water team has identified areas of interest that fall within overarching themes of foregrounding Indigenous Knowledges, creating tools for decision-making, and nurturing relationships between different government bodies. More specifically, members of the research group looked at pursuing:

• Protocols for vulnerability assessment

• Values mapping

• Participatory landscape values mapping

• Values-based coastal flood risk assessment

• Defining critical infrastructure, habit fragmentation, nature-based solutions, and managed retreat in the BC coastal context

• Case study analysis of multifunctional flood defenses

• Coastal hydrodynamic modelling

• Contextual design of multifunctional flood protection solutions

• Cost-benefit analysis of managed retreat scenarios

• Synthesis of lessons learned from building connected networks of regional and sub-regional resilience in the south coast region

• Policy-gap analysis

• Review of dyke design standards and guidelines
