The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima has received intense scientific attention over the last
decades. In recent years, interest in cultivation of the species has strongly increased in the …

A recent publication by Belton et al. raises points for policy-makers and scientists to consider
with respect to the future of aquaculture making recommendations on policies and …

This paper presents a fully explicit coupled wave–vegetation interaction model capable of
efficiently solving the coupled wave dynamics and flexible vegetation motion with large …

As a kind of marine plant, kelp plays an important role in the improvement of marine
environment. In addition, kelp arrays exhibit a great potential for wave attenuation. In this …

Vegetation is one of the most important components of nature-based coastal protection due
to its ability to dissipate wave energy. To quantify the wave attenuation by vegetation …

Seaweeds are attracting increasing attention as an alternative healthy food and renewable
drugs source and as agents of climate change mitigation that provide essential ecosystem …

Macroalgae and seagrasses in coastal habitats are exposed to turbulent water currents and
waves that deform them and can rip them off the substratum, but that also transport essential …

A physical modelling study was carried out to investigate random wave damping promoted
by an idealized floating kelp farm. The experimental conditions spanned intermediate water …

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, more and more marine eco-
structures are being built. Mangroves, corals and seaweeds can be combined with marine …

With the capacity to reduce wave energy and trap sediment, Scirpus mariqueter has become
an important native species of annual grass for ecology restoration at the Yangtze Estuary in …
