Similarly, lateral spacing shifts from merged wakes (P/D = 0) to enhanced gap flows (P/D = 0.5–1.0) and decoupled patterns (P/D ≥ 1.5). A comprehensive evaluation index (Ib) balances ecological benefits, scour stability, and deployment costs, identifying optimal spacings (T/D = 1.0–1.5, and P/D = 1.5–2.0) across multiple weighting scenarios, validated via Monte Carlo simulations. These findings deepen our fundamental understanding of hydrodynamic-scour interactions and offer theoretical foundations and practical guidelines for sustainable marine ranching and the optimal design of offshore ecological infrastructure worldwide.]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:44:18 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2627054 Boater’s Preference for Coral Reef Restoration and Sustainable Resource Management in Florida https://trid.trb.org/View/2437862 Tue, 08 Oct 2024 16:31:18 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2437862 Decision-Making Support System for Vessel Automatic Anti-Grounding and Anti-Reef https://trid.trb.org/View/2282920 Fri, 20 Sep 2024 16:24:17 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2282920 Inferences on Sediment Production and Transport at Carbonate Beaches Using Larger Foraminifera https://trid.trb.org/View/2153433 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 16:33:58 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2153433 Setting sustainable limits on anchoring to improve the resilience of coral reefs https://trid.trb.org/View/2138415 Fri, 21 Apr 2023 13:35:34 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2138415 GIS-based spatial suitability assessment for pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas reef restoration: A case study of Laizhou Bay, China https://trid.trb.org/View/2123580 Thu, 06 Apr 2023 11:46:52 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2123580 Anchor scour from shipping and the defaunation of rocky reefs: A quantitative assessment https://trid.trb.org/View/2088881 30 m), where ships anchor while waiting to enter nearby ports. Temperate mesophotic rocky reefs are unique, providing a platform for a diversity of biota, including sponges, ahermatypic corals and other sessile invertebrates. They are rich in biodiversity, provide essential food resources, habitat refugia and ecosystem services for a range of economically, as well as ecologically important taxa. The authors examined seven representative taxa from four phyla (porifera, cnidaria, bryozoan, hydrozoa) across anchored and ‘anchor-free’ sites to determine which biota and which of their morphologies were most at risk. Using stereo-imagery, they assessed the richness of animal forest biota, morphology, size, and relative abundance. Their analysis revealed striking impacts to animal forests exposed to anchoring with between three and four-fold declines in morphotype richness and relative abundance. Marked compositional shifts, relative to those reefs that were anchor-free, were also apparent. Six of the seven taxonomic groups, most notably sponge morphotypes, exhibited strong negative responses to anchoring, while one morphotype, soft bryozoans, showed no difference between treatments. These findings confirm that anchoring on reefs leads to the substantial removal of biota, with marked reductions of biodiversity and requires urgent management. The exclusion of areas of high biological value from anchorages is an important first step towards ameliorating impacts and promoting the recovery of biodiversity.]]> Tue, 24 Jan 2023 09:30:16 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2088881 Combining revealed and stated preference models for artificial reef siting: A study in the Florida Keys https://trid.trb.org/View/2053422 Mon, 21 Nov 2022 16:21:14 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2053422 Shipwrecks are not the ultimate attracting features in a natural marine environment-the case of Karaburun, Turkey https://trid.trb.org/View/1948460 Wed, 25 May 2022 09:35:35 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1948460 Investigating the Efficacy of Natural and Nature-based Features to Increase the Service Life of Coastal Roadways https://trid.trb.org/View/1948616 Fri, 06 May 2022 11:20:47 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1948616 Deterioration of sea sand roller compacted concrete used in island reef airport runway under salt spray https://trid.trb.org/View/1905958 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 09:40:56 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1905958
