    Abstract: Sustainable development of coastal systems and low-laying inland areas require replacement of artificial coastal stabilization and protection structures with “soft” transplanting techniques of native, salt-tolerant plant species. They can effectively minimize erosion and reduce storm damages with minimal negative impacts to natural ecosystems. Ecos... Show More
