The role of the reef–dune system in coastal protection in Puerto Morelos (Mexico) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Reefs and sand dunes are critical morphological features providing natural coastal protection. Reefs dissipate around 90 % of the incident wave energy through wave breaking, whereas sand dunes provide the final natural barrier against coastal flooding.
