| Summary | The purpose of this Guidance Document is to provide coastal communities with guidance about how to inventory their coastal natural assets, develop asset management options and evaluate alternatives using the Coastal Toolbox within the broader MNAI natural asset methodology. Following some discussion about Canadian jurisdictional considerations for coastal asset management, an overview of the CT is provided, followed by a step-by-step procedural guide for effective utilization of the toolbox, and supplemented by several appendices that offer additional detail about CT steps, coastal ecosystems and the services they provide, common strategies for storm surge protection (green, grey and hybrid), and a list of relevant legislation and policy. |
| Local Relevance | This document provides guidance on managing coastal assets for coastal communities to increase coastal resilience, including those in NWT coastal areas. |
