Data fusion of terrestrial laser scanner and remotely piloted aircraft systems points clouds for monitoring the coastal protection systems Aquat. Ecosyst. Health Manag. (IF 0.761) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 M. Saponaro, L. Pratola, A. Capolupo, A. Saponieri, L. Damiani, U. Fratino, E. Tarantino
Frequently exposed to natural agents such as waves, wind, tides, storm activity, seasonal changes and anthropogenic agents, coastal areas are tangibly high energy environments and therefore subject to considerable dynamics. In order to mitigate and reduce the impacts on these areas, different types of coastal protection systems can be implemented. Rockwalls and breakwaters are the most ordinary structures

Effect of long-term wave climate variability on performance-based design of coastal structures Aquat. Ecosyst. Health Manag. (IF 0.761) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 Y. Yuksel, Z.T. Yuksel, C. Sahin
Coastal and port structures represent a large economic investment for society during their lifetime. Therefore, there is a need for proper coastal planning and management. In order to do that, wave and current loads must be considered by determining their level where the coastal structure should resist, otherwise they may suffer extensive damage due to these environmental loads. In this study, a new

Coastal sand dune restoration with an eco-friendly technique Aquat. Ecosyst. Health Manag. (IF 0.761) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 Felice D’Alessandro, Giuseppe Roberto Tomasicchio, Antonio Francone, Elisa Leone, Ferdinando Frega, Giancarlo Chiaia, Alessandra Saponieri, Leonardo Damiani
Dune restoration projects that integrate vegetation efforts with natural, sustainable, and soft solutions have become increasingly popular in coastal communities. Eco-restored dunes have high aesthetic value and are likely to be more resilient to near-surface wind effects and/or minor storms events. However, environmental-friendly restoration strategies still lack scientific insight from systematic

A methodology to evaluate the effects of river sediment withdrawal: The case study of the Amendolea River in southern Italy Aquat. Ecosyst. Health Manag. (IF 0.761) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 Giandomenico Foti, Giuseppe Barbaro, Andrea Manti, Pietro Foti, Adriana La Torre, Paolo Fantino Geria, Pierfabrizio Puntorieri, Nicola Tramontana
Sediment deposition is an issue affecting many rivers. To oppose it, sediment withdrawals are often used. However, this practice can trigger further problems in river and coastal sections but, on the other hand, periodic removal of deposited sediments can reduce flooding risk. Also, these sediments can be used for beach nourishment. Therefore, before carrying out a sediment withdrawal, it is necessary

Maritime works often require sediment handling activities such as dredging and disposal, to maintain harbors and channels, nourish sandy beaches as well as to carefully remove and relocate contaminated materials from the bottom of estuarine and coastal areas. Such operations often lead to an increase in the concentration of suspended sediments in water columns, which in turn causes adverse effects
