Across the world, the presence of humans in coastal regions is always increasing. Hydraulic forcing from extreme events is a large risk around the global coastlines, the risk being complicated by the increased human presence along the coasts.The knowledge that vegetation can be used as a coastal protection measure is not something new. The benefits of vegetation have been seen throughout history and are being researched on till date. If we know to a certain confidence what the wave heights are at the shoreline, coastal defence structures, used as a hybrid protection measure, can be designed accordingly. Not much research has been done on the wave behaviour on shallow foreshores.Localised studies have been previously done on tropical vegetat...
