In recent decades, exogenous pressures have contributed to habitat loss and fragmentation
of oysters, resulting in a growing interest in restoring oyster reefs. Hydrodynamics of oyster …

Salt marshes are key coastal ecosystems that provide habitats for wildlife, including
invertebrates, fishes, and birds. They provide ecosystem services such as protection from …

One of the paramount goals of oyster reef living shorelines is to achieve sustained and
adaptive coastal protection, which requires meeting ecological (ie, develop a self‐sustaining …

Coastal areas are especially vulnerable to habitat loss, sea-level rise, and other climate
change effects. Oyster-dominated eco-engineered reefs have been promoted as integral …

Living shoreline projects have been built to preserve coastal ecosystems under future
climate change and sea level rise. To quantify the wave power variation across living …

Living shorelines gain increasing attention because they stabilize shorelines and reduce
erosion. This study leverages physics-based models and bagged regression tree (BRT) …

Oyster shell-filled bags have been used in engineered reefs and living shorelines as a
nature-based solution to attenuate wave energy and stabilize shorelines. However, due to …

This study reports findings of an analysis of modifications to the incident wave field caused
by constructed Oyster Castle® breakwater systems at Gandys Beach Preserve in Downe …

Ultra‐rough oceanic surfaces, such as oyster reefs, are characterized by densely‐packed,
sharp‐edged roughness elements that induce high frictional resistance on the ambient …

In densely populated coastal areas with sea-level rise (SLR), protecting the shorelines
against erosion due to the wave impact is crucial. Along with many engineered structures …
