In this flume experiment, we aimed to quantify the way in which salt marsh and mangrove vegetation edges attenuate incident wave and current energy, modify the nature of the turbulent kinetic energy (
Wave parameters were measured in a Ruppia maritima bed off Bishop’s Head Point in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland in June 2000 when plants were flowering, plant density was 1,270 ± 92 shoots m-2, and seagras
