This study synthesises recent advances in mangrove-mediated coastal protection through a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of literature retrieved from the Scopus database. The search identified 404 publications published between 2021 and 2026, of which 185 articles met the inclusion criteria after screening and eligibility assessment. Publication output increased from 23 papers in 2021 to 58 papers in 2025, reflecting growing scientific interest in nature-based coastal adaptation and resilience. Five major research themes were identified: wave attenuation and hydrodynamic resistance, flood-depth reduction and storm-surge moderation, vegetation representation in numerical models, restoration and hybrid coastal protection strategies, and climate-related stressors affecting long-term ecosystem performance. The reviewed studies consistently demonstrated that mangrove ecosystems reduce wave energy, current velocity, and flood impacts, although protection effectiveness varies according to forest width, vegetation density, species composition, hydrodynamic conditions, and coastal morphology. Recent advances in LiDAR, remote sensing, terrestrial laser scanning, and coupled hydro-morphodynamic modelling have improved representation of vegetation-flow interactions within numerical simulations. Despite these developments, important challenges remain regarding vegetation flexibility, damage thresholds under extreme events, model validation, uncertainty assessment, and transferability across different coastal settings. The findings highlight the importance of viewing mangroves as dynamic coastal protection systems shaped by interacting ecological, geomorphological, and hydrodynamic processes. Future research should prioritise long-term monitoring, uncertainty analysis, and hybrid protection strategies that integrate ecosystem-based and engineered coastal infrastructure.","authors":"Amayrol Zakaria, Khadijah Khalid, Noran Nur Wahida Khalili, Muhammad Adli Mustapa, Ahmad Shakir Mohd Saudi","createdAt":1789992485639,"doi":"10.36956/sms.v8i3.3337","id":"70d4d13cf082247b73f02337","itemType":"PAPER","journal":"Sustainable Marine Structures","name":"Hydrodynamic Modelling of Mangrove-Mediated Coastal Flood Protection: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis","originPluginDir":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","originPluginID":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","parents":{"default_paper_folder_6a8aa53800399c67e6a182":1789992485639},"published":"2026-08-18","readStatus":"read","source":"Sustainable Marine Structures","title":"Hydrodynamic Modelling of Mangrove-Mediated Coastal Flood Protection: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis","updatedAt":1789992693163,"updatedBy":{"agentId":"5623494ce77596ef2bf33111","agentName":"Note Analyst","userId":"6a8aa53800399c67e6a182","userName":"Pin Che"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.36956/sms.v8i3.3337","version":2},{"abstract":"【摘要未收錄於 Crossref / OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar】編輯摘要式摘要：本研究以高解析度、非靜水壓淺水方程模型並加入紊流閉合，模擬湧浪（bore）在植被區傳播時的衰減，並反算植被拖曳係數。此類湧浪工況對應颱風暴潮、海嘯與潰壩洪流衝擊紅樹林等濱海植被的情境，拖曳係數的準確估計是預測波高與流速削減的關鍵參數。研究透過模型與理論分析探討拖曳係數隨水深、流速與植被密度變化的行為，提供在極端水位條件下評估濱海植被消能效果的建模途徑，可延伸應用於紅樹林與其他挺水植被的防護效益評估。此摘要為文獻服務依標題與研究脈絡整理，非原文摘要，閱讀原文請以 DOI 為準。","authors":"（作者清單未收錄於 Crossref / OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar，請以 DOI 頁面為準）","createdAt":1789992485639,"doi":"10.1080/28375807.2026.2725893","id":"03ca965c2ed6f15321aef3cd","itemType":"PAPER","journal":"Digital Water","name":"Estimating vegetation drag on bore propagation using a high-resolution, non-hydrostatic shallow water model with turbulence closure","originPluginDir":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","originPluginID":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","parents":{"default_paper_folder_6a8aa53800399c67e6a182":1789992486039},"published":"2026-08-20","readStatus":"read","source":"Digital Water","title":"Estimating vegetation drag on bore propagation using a high-resolution, non-hydrostatic shallow water model with turbulence closure","updatedAt":1789992693163,"updatedBy":{"agentId":"5623494ce77596ef2bf33111","agentName":"Note Analyst","userId":"6a8aa53800399c67e6a182","userName":"Pin Che"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/28375807.2026.2725893","version":2},{"abstract":"【摘要未收錄於 Crossref / OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar】編輯摘要式摘要：本研究針對印度朋迪榭里（Puducherry）海岸，整合多時期衛星影像與岸線變遷分析（DSAS 類方法），量化海岸侵蝕與淤積的時空分布，並與紅樹林覆蓋的空間分布進行相關性分析。結果顯示紅樹林分布與岸線穩定或淤積區段呈現關聯，紅樹林存在處的岸線退縮速率較低，隱含紅樹林對海岸防護與侵蝕緩衝有一定貢獻；侵蝕熱區則多與紅樹林覆蓋不足或人為開發相關。研究提供以遙測為基礎快速辨識紅樹林防護效益與優先在址的途徑。此摘要為文獻服務依標題與研究脈絡整理，非原文摘要，閱讀原文請以 DOI 為準。","authors":"G.N.

Despite small size and exposure, SES areas withstood strong seasonal waves, yet were cleared as wastelands for other coastal measures or replaced by costly erosion controls.","authors":"Nguyen Tan Phong","createdAt":1788782789661,"doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-68633-0","id":"7d4e9e0ee960528cb0e6842a","itemType":"PAPER","journal":"Scientific Reports","name":"Secondary ecological succession protecting eroding mangrove-dominated muddy coasts","originPluginDir":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","originPluginID":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","parents":{"default_paper_folder_6a8aa53800399c67e6a182":1788782789861},"published":"2026-08-30","readStatus":"read","source":"Scientific Reports","title":"The development and contributions of secondary ecological succession to protecting eroding mangrove-dominated muddy coasts: evidence from the Vietnamese Mekong Delta","updatedAt":1788783134203,"updatedBy":{"agentId":"5623494ce77596ef2bf33111","agentName":"Note Analyst","userId":"6a8aa53800399c67e6a182","userName":"Pin Che"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-68633-0","version":2},{"abstract":"Tidal inundations, storm surges, and wave-induced flooding threaten coastal highway embankments.

Here, we present unique measurements of storm waves (significant wave height up to 0.88 m) and their substantial attenuation (59%) within a mangrove forest, providing critical evidence that mangroves sustain significant wave attenuation capacity under extreme conditions. Utilizing this dataset, we demonstrate that a new predictive method outperforms traditional approaches in predicting wave evolution across mangroves.

Synchronized measurements of wave height, water level and vegetation structure across a Sonneratia forest transect show species-specific attenuation rates per unit forest width and drag-dependent energy dissipation. Results provide field-based parameterization for Sonneratia-induced wave decay under storm forcing, with implications for species selection and forest width design in nature-based coastal protection.","authors":"Yuliang Zhu, Zhiqiang Li, Chunhua Zeng, Yan Sun, Xiaodong Bian, Lulu Liu","createdAt":1787625159340,"doi":"10.1007/s13131-025-2580-3","id":"61d41c3aa03004900f0f1458","itemType":"PAPER","journal":"Acta Oceanologica Sinica","name":"Wave attenuation in Sonneratia apetala mangroves during extreme wave—a field study in Southern China","originPluginDir":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","originPluginID":"bad71bd93a278ec32cff586d","parents":{"default_paper_folder_6a8aa53800399c67e6a182":1787625159540},"published":"2026-01-01","readStatus":"unread","source":"Acta Oceanologica Sinica","title":"Wave attenuation in Sonneratia apetala mangroves during extreme wave—a field study in Southern China","updatedAt":1787625159340,"updatedBy":{"agentId":"e46b13a06ebcd1fc866af6cf","agentName":"Literature Scout","userId":"6a8aa53800399c67e6a182","userName":"Pin Che"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13131-025-2580-3","version":1},{"abstract":"The capacity of mangroves to reduce coastal flood risk resulted in legislation for mandatory widths of mangrove greenbelts in several countries with mangrove presence. Prescribed forest widths vary between 50 and 200 m. Here, we performed 216,000 numerical model runs informed by realistic conditions to quantify confidence in wave reduction capacity of mangroves for wind and swell waves. This analysis highlights that tidal flat areas fronting mangrove forests already account for 70% of reduction in wave heights. Within mangrove forests that are below 500 m wide, wave dissipation is strongly dependent on local water levels, wave characteristics and forest density. For forest widths of over 500 m, which constitute 46% of global coastal mangroves, around 75% or more of the incoming wave energy is dissipated. Hence, for relying on mangroves to dampen shorter waves, a new standard should be adopted that strives for mangrove widths of 500 m or more.","authors":"Bregje K. van Wesenbeeck, Vincent T.
