Green Shores: a Tool in the Shoreline Resilience Toolbox

Launched in 2010 in British Columbia, Green Shores is a made-in-Canada approach to improving shoreline resilience. It requires a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach to shoreline management by encouraging adoption of sustainability principles in the design and construction of projects on marine, coastal and lake shores. Over the past 10 years, Green Shores has evolved from providing design guidance for shoreline projects to becoming a multi-faceted program.

This case study provides an overview of the Green Shores program, including lessons learned and recommended next steps for action.

This case study was produced by the Stewardship Centre for BC for Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program.
