Towards a facile method to protect shorelines

Mangroves are found worldwide across the rivers and coastlines in tropical regions. They are robust against storm surges and tsunamic for a long time. The roots have the most contributions for their resiliency and therefore can be inspired for future manmade structures. The motion of water in riverine mangrove forest is expected to be impacted by mangrove roots, which in turn disturb the transport of nutrients, contaminants, and residues in these systems. In this paper, a facile method for protecting shoreline is described and review and the significant impact of this method were reviewed. Bioinspired simplified models as an obstruction to water currents in shorelines and coastal areas are presented. It was found that Mangrove roots produce complex flow structure interactions with their environment, which affect the nutrient, habitat and aquatic animals. Analysis of the flow structure behind the roots extend to a broad range of mangrove-inspired applications and provide understandings into flows that are more complex and more indicative of the flows encountered in the unidirectional riverine flow
