ABSTRACT
After being severely impacted by Hurricane Michael in October 2018, Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) is rebuilding as an installation of the future. This paper demonstrates the importance of a resilience strategy to manage coastal flooding. It also presents the development of four pilot projects to explore the viability of nature-based coastal resilience solutions at Tyndall AFB to reduce risks. Those projects include reinforcing the second line of defense, alternative techniques to promote dune growth by sand trapping on barrier islands, strategic placement of sediment to enhance coastal resilience, and evaluation of back bay nature-based options for increasing coastal resilience. The paper also describes the regional collaboration and stakeholder engagement process and partnerships to align and support the nature-based elements of the coastal resilience strategy.
