Nature-based coastal defense systems on waves-currents-seagrass interaction: interdisciplinary research on coastal and ecology engineering and marine biology Ghent University
Nature-based solutions that provide sustainable coastal protection using low environmental impact solutions are significant in the adaptation process towards global climate change. One opportunity of sustainable protection is offered by aquatic vegetation(seagrass, salt marshes, and mangroves) in the coastal zone, which is of high ecological value and provides natural coastal protection through attenuating waves, baffling currents and ...
