The 27 pages that link to Coastal protection, each with the reason it gives.

• Coral reefRelated: Reef structures dissipate wave energy before it reaches shorelines.

• WetlandRelated: Tidal wetlands can buffer shorelines by absorbing wave energy and trapping sediment.

• Coral bleachingRelated: Degraded reefs can provide less protection as their living structures erode.

• Climate change adaptationRelated: Seawalls, dunes, and wetlands can reduce exposure to rising seas and storm surges.

• MangroveRelated: Mangrove trunks and roots can reduce wave energy and help stabilize coastlines.

• Seagrass meadowRelated: Seagrass canopies reduce wave energy before it reaches vulnerable shorelines.

• Mangrove forestRelated: Mangrove roots and trunks dissipate wave energy and help stabilize shorelines.

• Blue carbonRelated: Mangroves and marshes can buffer waves while storing carbon in their soils.

• Tidal flatRelated: Wide flats can dissipate wave energy before it reaches shore.

• Barrier islandRelated: Barrier islands can absorb wave energy before it reaches mainland shores.

• CoralRelated: Coral reefs absorb wave energy and can reduce coastal flooding.

• Coral TriangleRelated: Reefs dissipate wave energy along many Coral Triangle coastlines.

• SundarbansRelated: Mangrove roots and vegetation can reduce wave energy and help stabilize shores.

• Mangrove restorationRelated: Restored mangroves can buffer waves and stabilize shorelines.

• Wetland lossRelated: Losing marshes and mangroves removes buffers that attenuate waves and storm surges.

• Coastal wetlandRelated: Wetland vegetation and soils can buffer waves and storm-driven water.

• Erosion controlRelated: Coastal protection can include erosion control but covers a wider set of hazards.

• MarshRelated: Marsh vegetation and sediment can weaken waves and reduce shoreline erosion.

• Barrier reefRelated: Barrier reefs absorb and dissipate wave energy before it reaches the shore.

• Caribbean coral reefsRelated: Reef crests dissipate wave energy before it reaches Caribbean shorelines.

• MudflatRelated: Mudflats can dissipate wave energy before it reaches inland shorelines.

• SeagrassRelated: Seagrass canopies reduce wave energy and help protect shallow shorelines.

• Brain coralRelated: Brain-coral structures add roughness and height to reefs that weaken incoming waves.

• Marine coastal ecosystemRelated: Reefs, marshes, and other habitats can attenuate waves and stabilize shorelines.

• Shingle beachRelated: Shingle ridges can absorb wave energy and help shield land behind them.
