This research explores natural sedimentation phenomena by coupling computational and physical simulations to reinforce coastal zones, drawing inspiration from mangrove growth. The focus is on analyzing sedimentation patterns to identify interventions that support a self-sustaining strategy for land regeneration in the form of barrier islands, serving as mangrove nursery catchment areas. As the limitations of reactive and post-disaster shoreline management plans have proven inadequate, the studies in mitigation based on natural longer-term behaviors hold the promise of more resilient coastal ecosystems.
