Behaviour of Temperate Reef Fish Species Around Oyster Aquaculture Farms and Natural Rock Reefs

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultivation of eastern oysters using aquaculture gear increases habitat for temperate reef fish. Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus), scup (Stenotomus chrysops) and tautog (Tautoga onitis) inhabit a variety of complex natural and manmade habitats, including oyster aquaculture cage farms.

Effect of Wave Interaction With Comb-Shaped Floating Breakwater Near Partially Reflecting Seawall and Submerged Porous Structures

IEEE Access
This study investigates the interaction of surface gravity waves with a comb-shaped floating breakwater near an inclined partially reflecting seawall at a finite distance from an array of submerged triangular head porous structures.

Tsunami Casualty Risk Assessment Integrating Evacuation Tower Placement, Seismic Road Network Performance Enhancement, and Disaster Education

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Wave Load Reduction and Tranquility Zone Formation Using an Elastic Plate and Double Porous Structures for Seawall Protection

Mathematics
This study presents an analytical model to reduce the impact of wave-induced forces on a vertical seawall by introducing a floating elastic plate (EP) located at a specific distance from two bottom-standing porous structures (BSPs).

Estimates of Future Sea Levels Under Sea‐Level Rise: A Novel Hybrid Block Bootstrapping Approach and Australian Case Study

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Coastal flood events are increasing in both frequency and magnitude with ongoing sea‐level rise. Here we present a new statistical approach to generate future daily maximum water level timeseries and associated annual and daily flood probabilities for Australia. Our method provides several improvements on existing projection methods, including

Shore-Side Downfall Pressures Due to Waves Impacting a Vertical Seawall: An Experimental Study

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
As part of an investigation into downfall impacts from violent overtopping waves, experimental data are presented for the impact pressures and forces generated by regular and focused waves breaking onto a vertical wall and impacting a landward horizontal

Thresholds of Wave Forcing: Implications for Atoll Reef Dynamics Under Sea Level Rise

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We investigate the response of shallow reef flow to tidal variability and wave exposure during a 4‐month field campaign in southern Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives. Incident waves breaking on steep fore reefs and reef crests generate a setup proportional to offshore wave height that drives a cross‐reef flow. We emphasize a critical threshold—where the

Differential Settlement of Intersecting Buildings in an Offshore Reclamation Project

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019
This paper addresses the problem of open gaps caused by differential settlement in the process of constructing sluice buildings in soft soil beach areas, combined with the construction of sluice and supporting facilities in a reclamation project.
