Floating Breakwater Performance

Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976
The Pacific Northwestern United States contains large areas of protected waters with abundant recreational boating opportunities. The area also supports many commercial fishermen who use small boats in their fishing operations . As a result, there is a large demand for sheltered moorage for all these vessels.

Spatial Variability and Drivers of Salt Marsh Cliff Erosion in the Dutch Wadden Sea: From Observation to Simulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Lateral erosion of salt marshes via cliff retreat is a primary cause of global marsh loss, driven by interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment, and vegetation. While previous studies show a linear relationship between wave power and cliff retreat, models based on this relationship are largely unvalidated for short‐term (sub‐yearly) and ...

The induced wave energy damping effect owing to rearrangement rubble mound breakwater

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2019
To maintain the calmness of the harbor, rubble mound breakwaters are one of the practical measures to protect sailing and mooring waters. This paper investigates the effect of relocated rubble mound breakwaters on tranquillity in Busan yacht range and ...

Multi‐metric complexity drives ecological succession on blue‐green infrastructure across scales

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that restoring coastal habitat complexity can substantially improve ecosystem diversity and functioning, offering a scalable marine conservation approach within increasingly engineered seascapes. We highlight the need for multi‐metric, multi‐scale assessments of spatio‐temporal community formation on eco‐engineered ...

Influence of Intermittent Submerged Breakwater on the Hydrodynamic Impacts of Infragravity Waves on Fringing Reef

Redai dili
Coral reef systems are vital natural barriers that dissipate wave energy and protect coastlines. However, anthropogenic damage has severely compromised this protective function, necessitating restoration efforts such as submerged breakwaters.

Reef Type Breakwaters

Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984
Reef type breakwaters refers to a low-crested rubble mound breakwater without the traditional multilayer cross section. This type of breakwater is little more than a homogenous pile of stones with individual stone weights sufficient to resist wave attack.

Distribution of individual wave overtopping volumes on mound breakwaters

Coastal Engineering, 2019
Conventional mound breakwaters are usually designed to withstand low mean wave overtopping discharges and a low proportion of overtopping waves (Pow). Existing formulas to estimate Pow and maximum individual wave overtopping volume are usually based on ...

Fewer devil rays in the sea: Evidence of declining mobulid populations off India's coast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Manta and devil rays are declining globally due to targeted and incidental capture, but species‐specific assessments are limited by unmonitored fisheries. Using morphometric, demographic, and fishery metrics, we show for the first time in India long‐term (2013–2023) declines in Mobula mobular, Mobula tarapacana, Mobula birostris, and Mobula thurstoni ...

Clarifying the Labrisomus Conundrum: Deep Divergence, Cryptic Lineages, and a Genetic Melting Pot in the Atlantic Ocean (Teleostei, Labrisomidae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluate the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic validity of Atlantic species of Labrisomus, identifying the lineages currently assigned to L. nuchipinnis, and assessing the role of biogeographic barriers in shaping the evolutionary history and geographic distribution of the genus. Location Atlantic Ocean.

Numerical Modeling of the Effect of Porosity on Mooring Tensions in a Porous Double-slope Floating Breakwater [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
A floating breakwater is a structure used to solve existing problems due to activities around the coast. Floating breakwaters are becoming a more attractive alternative because of their mobility, costeffectiveness in deep coastal waters, and reduced ...
