Threats to beaches have accelerated the coastal destruction. In recent decades, geotextile tubes were used around the world to prevent coastal erosion, to encourage beach nourishment, and to assist mangrove rehabilitation. However, the applications of geotextile tube in sandy and muddy coasts have different concerns as the geological settings are different. Applications of geotextile tubes in s...

In 7 different region which represent most used harbors, ports and fishing shelters in the Sea of Marmara and Black Sea in Turkey coasts. Ecological Quality Status was assesed by sampling soft-bottom macrozoobenthos from 22 stations in 2014.

We investigate the interaction of ocean vortex patches with boundaries via the elliptic moment model of Melander, Zabusky & Stysek [13], under which vortex patches are approximated as elliptic regions of uniform vorticity. The interaction with a straight boundary is shown to reduce to the problem of an ellipse in constant strain, as previously investigated by Kida [9]. Interactions with more co...
