Effect of Artificial Sea Grass on Wave Attenuation- An Experimental Investigation

Abstract: An experimental study to validate the exponential attenuation of wave height is presented. Coastal vegetation can often attenuate the wave height as well as the wave energy and are, therefore, of interest. The tests were carried out with submerged artificial sea grass vegetation meadow of 2 m length in a wave flume 50 m long, 0.74 m wide and 1.1 m deep. The model plants were prepared from 0.0001 m thick polyethylene plastic sheets with 0.01 m high stipes and 0.21 m long leaves. Regular waves were generated and… Show more

“…More specifically, the extent of wave energy dissipation through meadows also depends on vegetation parameters such as plant height, diameter, stiffness, density, and the spatial arrangement or rather biomass along with their ecological niche-dependent zonation along the foreshore (John et al 2015;Schoutens et al 2020;Tempest et al 2015). The properties of salt marsh vegetation growing in the vicinity of the marsh edge towards the ocean are found to respond through avoidance with respect to the wave-induced stresses, as compared with those growing further onshore.…”

“…Thus, plants growing in different salt marsh zonation are considered to influence wave damping according to their site-specific properties (Schoutens et al 2020). The wave energy dissipation also depends on wave parameters such as wave height and period as well as water depth and (wave-induced) currents (John et al 2015;Vuik et al 2016;Paul et al 2012;Tempest et al 2015). Leonardi and Fagherazzi (2015) stated that the effect on salt marshes due to extreme storm surge events depends on the general exposure of the salt marsh to heavy, storm-induced, wave events.…”

“…Based on the morphometric analysis, E. acoroides had the biggest size than the rest of the species (Table 1). Thus, its existence could protect other smaller seagrass species against stream and waves (Fonseca and Cahalan 1992;John et al 2015). Seagrass beds provide habitat for a fish community (Phinrub et al 2014), the existence of seagrass stand especially E. acoroides (Lotuconsina et al 2012;Ambo-Rappe et al, 2013) and C. rotundata is a vegetative option chosen by the fish species to associate.…”

“…These ecosystems provide ecosystem services for coastal communities [1] and small islands [2][3]. Some of the ecosystem services provided by the seagrass ecosystem are habitats for economic biota [4][5][6], coastal protection, reducing water current [7][8], reducing pathogens [9] as well as carbon sinks [10].…”
