TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide insight in the conditions under which ecosystems may be valuable for coastal protection, discuss which might be the most promising intertidal ecosystems for this task and identify knowledge gaps that currently hamper application and hence need attention from the scientific community.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection through a review of the most relevant existing knowledge and concluded that the optimal conditions for enhancing the protection supplied might be achieved in shallow waters and low wave energy environments, with high interaction surface, at the vertical and horizontal dimension, between water flow and seagrase.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the critical drivers that determine the persistence and maintenance of sandy coastal habitats around Europe's coastline, taking particular interest in their close link with the biological communities that inhabit them.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of vegetation density and biomass on wave attenuation in salt marshes was evaluated and shown that higher vegetation density leads to higher attenuation rates for both species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and implemented an innovative methodological approach to identify potential zones for wind and wave energy exploitation at the global level, using long-term data series with fine spatial and temporal resolution.
