Coastal protections, such as dykes, seawalls, breakwaters and natural beaches can often be considered porous structures. The accurate prediction of wave motion around structures is necessary for the effective design durable coastal protections. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) a meshless particle-based method suitable simulations violent free-surface flows their interaction with In this pa...

Coastal communities in Suriname are highly vulnerable to sea level rise and will need to adapt. Global assessments of climate risk and vulnerability, such as IPCC reports, play an important role in the development of local adaptation policies. The aim of this article is to explore global and national discourses on climate change vulnerability and their local expressions in national policies. Th...

The construction of artificial structures in the marine environment is increasing globally. Eco-engineering aims to mitigate the negative ecological impacts of built infrastructure through designing structures to be multifunctional, benefiting both humans and nature. To date, the focus of eco-engineering has largely been on benefits for benthic invertebrates and algae. Here, the potential effec...
