van Bijsterveldt, Celine E.J. (author), van der Wal, Daphne (author), Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Fivash, Gregory S. (author), Helmi, Muhammad (author), Bouma, T.J. (author)Mangrove forests are increasingly valued as wave-attenuating buffers in coastal flood defence strategies. However, as mangroves are vulnerable to wave-induced erosion, this raises the question, how can the stability of these protective mangrove forests be promoted? To address this question, we investigate how mangrove dynamics in a microtidal...journal article 2023

Damastuti, Ekaningrum (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author), Leemans, Rik (author), de Groot, Rudolf S. (author), Silvius, Marcel J. (author)Management and restoration of mangrove forests to protect coasts are promoted in many countries, including Indonesia. Indonesian mangrove forests are actively restored and managed by local communities for their ecosystem services, including coastal protection. Whether community-based mangrove management (CBMM) is effective is still debated....journal article 2023

Alferink, M. (author), Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Suzuki, Tomohiro (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)The coastline of Demak, Indonesia, has been eroding during the<br/>last 15 years. Coastal retreat in Demak is caused by a combination<br/>of mangrove deforestation and local subsidence due to groundwater<br/>extraction in the nearby city of Semarang. To restore the lost mangrove<br/>forest, permeable dams, consisting of bamboo poles with a<br/...journal article 2023

Beselly, S.M. (author), Grueters, U. (author), van Der Wegen, M. (author), Reyns, J.A.H. (author), Dijkstra, J. (author), Roelvink, D. (author)As climate-change-driven extremes potentially make coastal areas more vulnerable, mangroves can help sustainably protect the coasts. There is a substantial understanding of both mangrove dynamics and hydro-morphodynamic processes. However, the knowledge of complex eco-geomorphic interactions with physical-environmental stressors remains...journal article 2023

Zhang, R. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Lei, Jiaxin (author), Zhou, Xin (author), Yao, P. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Mangroves can function as a ‘bio-shield’ to protect coastal communities from harsh environments because of their strong ability to attenuate wave energy. However, as mangroves are usually oversimplified as rigid cylinders in antecedent studies, the effects of complex mangrove morphology on wave attenuation have not been well researched....journal article 2023

Gijón Mancheño, A. (author)Mangrove forests effectively function as natural flood defences, and their deforestation has exposed millions of people worldwide to coastal erosion and flooding. Since mangroves require a stable sedimentary environment, stopping coastal erosion is a necessary step for their restoration. Bamboo structures have thus been built to induce accretion...doctoral thesis 2022

Tas, S.A.J. (author)Over the last decades, mangrove forests have suffered immense and rapid losses worldwide. In recognition of their important socio-economic and environmental functions, many attempts have been made to both protect the remaining mangrove coastlines and restore eroding sites. Unfortunately, many rehabilitation attempts have failed, lacking a...doctoral thesis 2022

(author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author)Global change processes such as sea level rise and the increasing frequency of severe storms threaten many coastlines around the world and trigger the need for interventions to make these often densely-populated areas safer. Mangroves could be implemented in Nature-Based Flood Defense, provided that we know how to conserve and restore these...journal article 2022

Phan, M.H. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Mangroves play an important role in sustaining a healthy coastal environment, providing a natural habitat to various species, a stable shoreline and forestry products. However, the extent of mangroves developed along the tidal coast of the Mekong delta in southern Vietnam has faced and still faces the impact from both natural and...journal article 2022

(author), Maza, Maria (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author)Nature-based coastal protection is increasingly recognised as a potentially sustainable and cost-effective solution to reduce coastal flood risk. It uses coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests to create resilient designs for coastal flood protection. However, to use mangroves effectively as a nature-based measure for flood risk reduction...journal article 2022

(author)Wave height attenuation in vegetation canopies is often all attributed to the drag force exerted by vegetation, whereas other potential dissipation process is often neglected. Previous studies without vegetation have found that opposing currents can induce wave breaking and greatly increase dissipation. It is not clear if similar process may...journal article 2022

Niazi, M.H.K. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author)The increasing risk of flooding requires obtaining generalized knowledge for the implementation of distinct and innovative intervention strategies, such as nature-based solutions. Inclusion of ecosystems in flood risk management has proven to be an adaptive strategy that achieves multiple benefits. However, obtaining generalizable...journal article 2021

(author)Mangrove vegetation constitutes a natural coastal defence against waves and erosion. Despite their protective role, mangrove ecosystems have experienced continuous degradation over the last decades due to human causes. At retreating mangrove coastlines, bamboo structures are built to create new habitat for mangrove colonization. Existing...journal article 2021

Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Kazi, Swarna (author), Urrutia, Ignacio (author), van Ledden, Mathijs (author)Mangroves protect coastal areas against hazards like storms or cyclones by attenuating waves and currents, and by trapping floating debris during extreme events. Bangladesh is a very vulnerable country to floods and cyclones, and part of its coastal system is thus being upgraded to a higher safety standard. These upgrades include embankment...journal article 2021

Tas, S.A.J. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Cheniers are important for stabilising mud-dominated coastlines. A chenier is a body of wave-reworked, coarse-grained sediment consisting of sand and shells overlying a muddy substrate. In this paper we present and analyse a week of field observations of the dynamics of a single chenier along the coast of Demak, Indonesia. Despite relatively...journal article 2020

Stive, M.J.F. (author), Phan, L. K. (author), Truong, S. T. (author), Phan, H. M. (author), Dao, H. T. (author)Over the last few decades, the Mekong Delta Coast has undergone many physical changes that have increased its vulnerability. Issues that have grown in importance are erosion, human occupation of coastal and estuarine mangroves, decreased sediment supply by the Mekong River and subsidence due to groundwater extraction. These issues have led to...conference paper 2020

Restoration of mangrove greenbelts may counteract such erosion, by restoring the sediment balance. Hence, we aim to unravel the processes controlling natural mangrove regeneration in both “landward” (i.e., into aquaculture ponds) and...journal article 2020
