Summary
Optimising bioengineered structures for resilient shorelines and habitats. Nature-based solutions for shoreline protection through ecosystem restoration are increasingly being considered by foreshore managers. However, habitat restoration efforts are greatly hampered by the time it takes to fully revegetate an area. This project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of wave interaction with bioengineered structures that provide shelter from wave impacts and promote revegetation and contr ....Optimising bioengineered structures for resilient shorelines and habitats. Nature-based solutions for shoreline protection through ecosystem restoration are increasingly being considered by foreshore managers. However, habitat restoration efforts are greatly hampered by the time it takes to fully revegetate an area. This project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of wave interaction with bioengineered structures that provide shelter from wave impacts and promote revegetation and contribute to shoreline flood and erosion mitigation. Expected outcomes of this project include quantitative design guidelines and predictive tools that will help foreshore managers to develop more robust and cost-effective nature-based shoreline protection strategies.
