The present study reports on a series of laboratory experiments aiming to understand and optimize the deployment seawall defences over low-lying coral reef flats. is performed in purely cross-shore configuration, with varying wave forcing, water depth, shapes positions along flat. observations reveal individual combined effects external parameters. A higher efficiency reached for low waves, sha...

— Highly modified habitats resulting from coastal development could facilitate the re-establishment of biological communities. At the Singapore Armed Forces Yacht Club in Changi, Singapore, the diversity and distribution of scleractinian corals were investigated using belt surveys at two different depths (1–3.5 m and 3.5–6 m) of a seawall. The 1,762 scleractinian colonies recorded are represent...
