Laboratory investigation on morphology response of submerged artificial sandbar and its impact on beach evolution under storm wave condition

Sandy shoreline recovery ability after breakwater removal

“…Coastal managers and scientists are seeking more nature-based solutions to the adverse impacts of hard structures. Beach replenishment, including beach, dune, and shoreface nourishments (e.g., Hanson et al, 2002;de Schipper et al, 2016;Li et al, 2022;Pinto et al, 2022), has been widely used to mitigate beach erosion and rebuild landscapes. Sand bypass systems have also been implemented to cope with the littoral drift interruption by transporting the updrift sand through a pipeline network to the downdrift of coastal structures (Boswood and Murray, 2001;Loza, 2008;Silva et al, 2021).…”
