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.

前滨管理人员越来越多地考虑通过恢复生态系统来保护海岸线的自然解决方案。然而，栖息地恢复工作受到充分重新植被所需时间的极大阻碍。该项目旨在全面了解波浪与生物工程结构的相互作用，这些结构可提供免受波浪影响的庇护所，促进重新植被，并有助于减轻海岸线的洪水和侵蚀。该项目的预期成果包括定量设计指南和预测工具，将有助于前滨管理人员制定更稳健和更具成本效益的基于自然的海岸线保护战略。
