23-30. Optimizing coastal hazard flooding risk reduction provided by potential hybrid coral reef restoration
The Fellow will advance the application of hybrid (corals outplanted on an artificial base structure) coral reefs as nature-based solutions to reduce wave energy and coastal flooding along coral reef-lined tropical coastlines. Nearshore coastal hydrodynamic modeling of hybrid coral reef restorations will help optimize designs for different coastal configurations and oceanographic conditions.
