DESCRIPTION
The key components of artificial mangroves include artificial wooden poles, which serve to dissipate force, reduce wave energy, and provide anchoring points for the roots. These poles are embedded into the shore based on calculated design parameters. The roots, made from a mixture of natural rubber and composite materials, function to reduce wave energy and resist water currents, helping to retain suspended sediments carried by the waves, leading to sediment deposition. The artificial mangroves are installed in clusters, extending outward from the shoreline.
