Implication

Wave attenuation performance of an ecological submerged breakwater mitigates coastal erosion in tidal flats, suggesting effective coastal protection solutions.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the wave attenuation performance of an ecological submerged breakwater in the Sheyang Coastal Zone.
Wave observations conducted at stations on both seaward and landward sides of the breakwater
Data collected during May 2025 to assess wave performance
Comparison of ESB performance against natural ecosystems
Breakwater reduced significant wave height (H1/3) by up to 76.3% with an average of 33.8%
Attenuation rate varied significantly with sea state, reaching 57.6% under severe conditions
Wave transmission coefficients (Kt) ranged from 0.20 to 0.99, indicating high dynamic variability
