The recovery of degraded marine coasts and the improvement of natural habitats are current
issues of vital importance for the development of life, both marine and terrestrial. In this …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review cases of artificial reefs built through additive
manufacturing (AM) technologies and analyse their ecological goals, fabrication process …

An increasing number of artificial reefs (ARs) are constructed to compensate for the loss of
natural reefs (NRs), but little is known about their benthic community composition. Here, we …

Local scour poses a risk of artificial reefs (ARs) capsizing or being buried. However, there is
currently a lack of effective research methods to explore the mechanisms. This paper studies …

Coral reefs are increasingly recognized for their shoreline protection services. The
hydrodynamic performance of this ecosystem is comparable to artificial low-crested …

The floating breakwater is a protective structure that can absorb waves and can be used
effectively in coastal areas with moderate wave environmental conditions. The stability of the …

Observations over the decades have found that oyster reefs in shallow estuarine
environments have the potential to protect shorelines or offshore structures by dissipating …

Artificial reefs are effective measures to improve the marine ecological environment and
increase fishery production. However, there are several geometries being investigated …

Breakwaters are characteristic maritime works and provide basic infrastructure for artificial
sea and land areas such as ports. Given their importance, it is of special interest to study in …

In this study, it was examined for the reduction of wave overtopping and water level
fluctuation in front of the revetment when applying a reinforcement method to revetment …
