Using sea bed roughness as a wave energy dissipater

Abstract
The shoreline is exposed to erosion processes due to water level variation and
attacking waves. As a result of erosion processes the shoreline will erode into the
sea every year. This phenomenon causes serious damage to all marine structures
and coastal resorts. Many practical solutions to protect the shoreline have been
found in the past, some have been onshore methods and others have been
offshore methods.
Submerged breakwater, shoreline tiles, sea deck, groins, etc., are the different
ways of protecting the shoreline. In this study, a practical solution to reduce
wave energy was suggested. This solution depends on the concept of increasing
the roughness of the sea bed which will then act as a wave energy dissipater to
decrease the shoreline erosion process.
