Natural barriers to natural disasters: replanting mangroves after the tsunami
The Indian Ocean tsunami disaster of December 2004 has increased interest in replanting degraded and deforested mangrove areas in Asia to improve coastal protection. Evidence from Thailand suggests…

Mangroves as a coastal protection from waves in the Tong King delta, Vietnam
TLDR
The usefulness of mangrove reforestation for coastal protection is demonstrated by the effect of wave reduction, which was large even when the water depth increased.

Currents and Sediment Transport in Mangrove Forests
Abstract A field study of the tidal currents, cohesive sediment dynamics and transport of organic carbon in a highly vegetated mangrove swamp was carried out at Middle Creek, Cairns, Australia. The…
Transport of sediment in mangrove swamps
The transport of suspended sediment in mangrove swamps is controlled by three dominant processes. First, the transport processes in the estuaries and coastal waters draining the swamp, including…
