Morphodynamic Response to Low-Crested Detached Breakwaters on a Sea Breeze-Dominated Coast

Low-crested detached breakwaters (LCDBs) have been widely employed as a mitigation measure against beach erosion. However, only a few studies have assessed their performance in sea-breeze-dominated environments. This work investigates the beach morphodynamics behind LCDBs deployed on a micro-tidal s...
