The Power of Three: Coral Reefs, Seagrasses and Mangroves Protect Coastal Regions and Increase Their Resilience

Creator:

Guannel, Greg, Arkema, Katie, Ruggiero, Peter, and Verutes, Gregory

Abstract:

Natural habitats have the ability to protect coastal communities against the impacts of waves and storms, yet it is unclear how different habitats complement each other to reduce those impacts. Here, we investigate the individual and combined coastal protection services supplied by live corals on reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove...

Integrated modeling framework to quantify the coastal protection services supplied by vegetation

Creator:

Guannel, Greg, Ruggiero, Peter, Faries, Joe, Arkema, Katie, Pinsky, Malin, Gelfenbaum, Guy, Guerry, Anne, and Kim, Choong-Ki

Abstract:

Vegetation can protect communities by reducing nearshore wave height and altering sediment transport processes. However, quantitative approaches for evaluating the coastal protection services, or benefits, supplied by vegetation to people in a wide range of coastal environments are lacking. To begin to fill this knowledge gap, we propose an integrated...
