Coastal erosion is occurring at a faster rate than in the past. The adverse impacts are not
negligible at environmental, economic, and socio-cultural levels. Hence, coastal protection …

The contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection is examined through the review of the
most relevant existing knowledge. Seagrasses are the largest submerged aquatic …

Over the last decades, population densities in coastal areas have strongly increased. At the
same time, many intertidal coastal ecosystems that provide valuable services in terms of …

Vegetation can contribute to coastal defence by dam** incoming waves. However, prior
studies have shown that attenuation varies greatly among plant species. Plant flexibility is a …

Aquatic vegetation provides ecosystem services of great value, including the dam** of
waves, which protects shorelines and reduces resuspension. This study proposes a …

Interest in the role that ecosystems play in reducing the impacts of coastal hazards has
grown dramatically. Yet the magnitude and nature of their effects are highly context …

Green infrastructure, utilizing coastal ecosystems, provides a nature-based solution to
counteract coastal hazards and rising sea level. Coastal forests, a major type of green …

Coastal vegetation serves as an effective nature-based solution for protecting shorelines
from erosion and storm surges. A detailed understanding of the dynamic interactions …

A three dimensional numerical approach based on IHFOAM to study the interaction of
tsunami waves with mangrove forest is presented. As a first approximation, the problem is …
