【 摘 要 】

Aquatic vegetation, like seagrasses, macroalgae and trees whether submerged or subaerial are an important feature of a coastal ecosystem. In addition to the structural and functional aspects to the environment, they are known to reduce wave and current energies propagating through them. The reduction of energy would then influence sediment motion and thus render an impact on coastal sediment transport. The dissipative character of large stands of kelp has been studied for instance by Jackson and Winant, (1983), Dalrymple et al. (1984) and for artificial seaweed as material for shore protection Price et al. (1968).
