This project aims to develop a new framework to accurately predict how a diverse range of coastal ecosystems (seagrasses, corals, mangroves) act to reduce coastal flooding. The project aspires to develop novel theory and models to quantify how the large, complex roughness of these ecosystems interacts with coastal flows to attenuate extreme water levels at coastlines. Expected outcomes include new predictive models and guidelines that can be immediately incorporated into coastal hazard forecasts and engineering practice. This will allow greatly-improved predictions of how coastal ecosystems support the safety and resilience of coastal communities worldwide, and new design guidelines to boost nature-based coastal defence projects.

该项目旨在开发一个新的框架，以准确预测各种不同的沿海生态系统(海草、珊瑚、红树林)如何减少沿海洪水。该项目致力于开发新的理论和模型，以量化这些生态系统巨大而复杂的粗糙度如何与海岸水流相互作用，以降低海岸线的极端水位。预期成果包括可立即纳入沿海灾害预报和工程实践的新的预测模型和指导方针。这将大大改善对沿海生态系统如何支持世界各地沿海社区的安全和复原力的预测，以及新的设计指南，以促进基于自然的海岸防御项目。
