The SHIEELD project evaluates the protective role of eelgrass in coastal defense against flooding and erosion. It employs laboratory experiments and field campaigns to measure eelgrass's impact on wave attenuation and sediment stability, aiming to inform policymakers on nature-based solutions for coastal management.
Coasts worldwide are experiencing ever-increasing flood risk and coastal erosion.
To simultaneously enhance the efficiency of coastal defence and improve the ecological status of coastlines, the scientific community has recently proposed the use of nature-based solutions.
Eelgrass canopies have the potential to contribute to coastal defence by attenuating waves and stabilizing sediments so that coastal erosion is reduced.
However, the value of eelgrass in nature-based solutions has never been as…
