This study delves into the application of the U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN)
model for beach wrack (BW) segmentation and monitoring in coastal environments using …

Beach wracks are temporary accumulations of vegetal detritus that can be found along
coastlines all over the world. Although beach wracks are often perceived as a nuisance for …

Coastal nutrient loading has been linked to a decline in the capacity of seagrass ecosystems
to sequester carbon ('blue carbon'); however, the mechanisms are unclear. Here we …

Coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and kelp forests contribute to
climate regulation as carbon sinks. However, coastal ecosystems may act as carbon sources …

Coastal wetlands depend on vertical accretion to keep up with sea level rise in cases where
embankment restricts accommodation space and landward migration. For coastal wetland …
