Existing industry references for small craft provide limited region-specific data and may not accurately reflect vessel...

... is also not free of similar mistakes. A very famous example pertains to a design method for calculating the maximum breaker-induced impact pressure acting on a vertical-wall structure of a composite breakwater, as illustrated in Figure 1 . The following design equation has been put into question...

...) is a rapidly growing field that attempts to encourage native marine life to colonise marine artificial structures to enhance biodiversity, thereby promoting ecosystem functioning and hence service provision. By designing multifunctional sea defences, breakwaters, port complexes and offshore renewable energy...
