Introduction

This Journal of Ecohydraulics webinar aims to explore coastal ecosystems, focusing on the interplay between erosion protection by salt marsh vegetation and the challenges of stability and resilience in delta regions. This session aims to provide a holistic understanding of coastal dynamics, addressing how natural landscapes like salt marshes and deltas adapt and respond to environmental changes. By integrating these themes, the webinar seeks to offer valuable insights into sustainable coastal management and conservation strategies in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
