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.

Manufacturing Of Robust Natural Fiber Preforms Utilizing Bacterial Cellulose as Binder [PDF]
, 2014 We present a novel method of manufacturing rigid and robust short natural fiber preforms using a papermaking process. Bacterial cellulose acts simultaneously as the binder for the loose fibers and provides rigidity to the fiber preforms.
