Hurricane Michael struck Tyndall Air Force Base with devastating winds, yet the base escaped flood damage, showcasing the urgent need for innovative protective strategies.
A new prototype artificial reef designed by Rutgers scientists aims to protect coastlines from intensified waves and storm surges, optimized to be colonized by oysters.
This reef can absorb 70% of wave energy, and researchers believe with further optimization, it could effectively reduce up to 90% of wave impact.
As climate change exacerbates storm intensity, the Pentagon acknowledges the necessity for advanced defenses to safeguard coastal military installations from erosion and flooding.
