快速增长的人口和不断扩大的发展正在加大沿海生态系统的压力。海平面上升和气候变化的其他预期影响预计将对沿海生态系统施加更大的压力，加剧侵蚀、生境退化和加速海岸线后退。从历史上看，社会对侵蚀和海岸线后退威胁的反应一直依赖于装甲和其他工程海岸防御。尽管在所有类型的海岸线上广泛使用，但关于海岸线装甲的生态影响的信息相当有限。在这里，我们总结了有关装甲结构对海岸生态系统的生物多样性、生产力、结构和功能的影响的现有知识。
Rapidly growing populations and expanding development are intensifying pressures on coastal ecosystems. Sea-level rise and other predicted effects of climate change are expected to exert even greater pressures on coastal ecosystems, exacerbating erosion, degrading habitat, and accelerating shoreline retreat. Historically, society's responses to threats from erosion and shoreline retreat have relied on armoring and other engineered coastal defenses. Despite widespread use on all types of shorelines, information about the ecological impacts of shoreline armoring is quite limited. Here we summarize existing knowledge on the effects of armoring structures on the biodiversity, productivity, stmcture, and function of coastal ecoystems.
