Artificial Mangrove Roots for Mitigating Shoreline Erosion

Caption

 Conceptual illustration of how Artificial Mangrove Roots (AMRs) can help reduce end-effect erosion caused by seawalls and revetments. The AMR system allows waves to pass through while helping stabilize the shoreline through sediment retention, offering a flexible and environmentally compatible coastal protection option.
