Maps & Apps

The Natural Solutions Toolkit consists of a spatial data-viewing platform and a suite of web apps across coastal, floodplain, freshwater, land and ocean environments. Users can:

view potential impacts of sea level rise, surge from storms and hurricanes, and inland flooding
optimize the design of new marine protected areas to deliver multiple benefits, from fish production to coastal protection to carbon storage and tourism value
identify watersheds where land-based conservation activities have the greatest potential to contribute to water security and other sustainability goals
see how water management decisions made far upstream affect coastal resources downstream
identify countries and river basins where water market strategies can be used to reduce human and ecological impacts from water shortages

The Toolkit enables smart, targeted investment in online mapping technology where web apps are customized to meet specific planning and decision-making needs
