Building with nature as coastal protection strategy in the Netherlands

Building with Nature solutions can contribute to the reduction of flood risks and at the same time increases ecological and socioeconomical values in coastal areas (De Vriend et al. 2014). Building with Nature is a Dutch term and many more similar concepts are being introduced worldwide, all focusing on the interplay between physics, ecology, and governance to guarantee safety against flooding: Ecological Engineering (Costanza et al. 2006), Ecosystem-based Management (Barbier et al. 2008), Working with Nature (PIANC 2011), Managed Realignment (French 2006), Nature-based CONteNtS
