FLOATING BREAKWATER RESPONSE TO WAVE ACTION
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988 The present paper describes a study carried out to investigate floating breakwater behavior in waves. Components of the study include a field survey of floating breakwaters in British Columbia, Canada, the development of a numerical model of breakwater behavior and the experimental testing of a particular breakwater design. The numerical model has been

Conservation genomics of Pecos pupfish (Cyprinodon pecosensis)
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Pecos pupfish, Cyprinodon pecosensis, is an imperilled freshwater fish found in arid regions of Texas and New Mexico (USA). The species faces multiple challenges to persistence including reductions in suitable habitat, water shortages, as well as hybridization and competition with an introduced congener (sheepshead minnow, C.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Inverse T-Type Floating Breakwaters
International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2019 Various types of floating breakwaters in different configuration and shapes are used to reduce wave height in coastal areas. The most important parameter in designing breakwaters are their shapes which determines hydrodynamic reaction to incident waves ...

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions
Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Winter storms present a major erosional hazard to subaqueous deltas globally, but the associated dynamic mechanisms are still not well understood. Using high‐resolution in situ data collected over a 3‐week period in the abandoned Yellow River subaqueous delta, this study employs three‐dimensional quadrant analysis to examine turbulent ...

Wave transmission past a floating breakwater with a perforated fence [PDF]
, 1999 Floating breakwaters are used to attenuate wave action near shorelines and provide wave protection in marinas. Many different designs have been used.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals

Damping Effect of Flexible Floating Breakwater. [PDF]
, 1990 Many studies on the damping effect of flexible floating breakwater have been done based on inside experiment and field investigation, but next two points have not yet sufficiently been clarified. 1. general nature. 2. precise similarity. For point 1, the
