Nature based solutions for coastal defense: Wave attenuation and economic analysis of marsh-fronted seawalls
A seawall fronted by salt marshes is a hybrid, nature-based solution for rural and urban coastal protection. A one-dimensional wave attenuation model was developed using first principles to capture four mechanisms that impact wave evolution: Wave breaking, vegetation drag, shoaling, and bed …
