Anchor Forces on Coir-Based Artificial Seagrass Mats: Dependence on Wave Dynamics and Their Potential Use in Seagrass Restoration

Abstract: Seagrasses represent an essential part of the coastal environment and are hence the target of many coastal restoration projects. Artificial seagrass (ASG) mats may facilitate seagrass growth, making them a captivating option for restoration projects. However, little is known about the forces occurring on mats deployed in marine environments and especially on how these forces are transmitted to the anchoring points. Here, we present a study of prototype biodegradable coconut-mesh mats as base layer for ASG mead… Show more

“…To study the response of flexible mats of artificial seagrass in a marine environment, a series of experiments were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. Initially, different mats and anchor configurations were tested, with mat mechanical performance, flow interaction, and the resulting loads on anchoring points scrutinized 19 . Here, we focus on the velocity structure and wave height evolution.…”
