Coastal structures, especially revetments, have been widely implemented to protect
properties and infrastructures from erosive waves during storms. While being incompatible …

Increasing frequency of extreme weather events, driven by climate change, coupled with
growing population densities, have contributed to an increasing demand for coastal …

Habitat complexity is widely considered an important determinant of biodiversity, and
enhancing complexity can play a key role in restoring degraded habitats. However, the …

The marine environment is being increasingly modified by the construction of artificial
structures, the impacts of which may be mitigated through eco-engineering. To date, eco …

The construction of artificial structures, such as seawalls, is increasing globally, resulting in
loss of habitat complexity and native species biodiversity. There is increasing interest in …

In reflecting on the human domination of our planet in the Anthropocene, some have argued
that concrete is among the most destructive materials created by humans. Here we explore …

1.4. Background The marine environment is highly biodiverse, and this biodiversity provides
essential goods and services to humans and enhances human well-being (Gamfeldt et al …

Marine urbanisation often results in the proliferation of artificial coastal defences and heavy
sedimentation, adversely impacting coral reef systems in tropical coastal cities. Knowledge …

Coastal zones provide about 70% of world's ecosystems services. However, more than 25%
of these habitats have been modified by human activity at both land and sea. At the intertidal …

The diversity‐habitat complexity relationship has been utilised widely in conservation and
biodiversity enhancement interventions, but few studies have attempted to tease apart the …
