Seagrass canopies are important components of the world's coastal environments providing
critical ecological services. Nearshore hydrodynamics, ie, waves and currents, are essential …

Marine environmental conservation and tourist exploitation are often in conflict, particularly
where anthropogenic pressure is greatest, such as along the coasts of the Mediterranean …

Urban Mediterranean beaches are often characterized by a fragile and unstable equilibrium
that can be easily altered by ongoing climate change and by the increase in human …

This study discusses the potential impact of removing Posidonia banquette on the sediment
budget of a siliciclastic-sediment-starved beach-barrier system. The morphology as well as …

Seagrass berms are a natural accumulation of seagrass leaves along the shoreline, which
play an important role in coastal protection. Seagrass berms have been shown to reduce …

The beach-cast material attracts more attention nowadays since it contains both organic
wrack, considered as a natural resource, and plastic waste which is potentially dangerous …

This paper investigates the dynamics of the cross-shore extensions of banquettes, a
sedimentary structure mostly made by rests of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, in a sandy …

This paper presents a map describing the main geomorphological and sedimentological
features, hydrodynamics, benthic habitat distributions and human impact on the coastal and …

The continuous sea level rise and the increase in the intensity of wave storms, amplified by
global climate change, implies an adequate response from coastal management and …

Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile est une plante à fleur (Magnoliophyte) endémique de
la mer Méditerranée. Cette espèce constitue des herbiers qui sont présents dans tout l'étage …
