Venice Lagoon (micro-tidal)
Context
Tide: micro • Slope: mixed • Energy: moderate. Constraints: navigation channels, heritage.
Intervention
Fascine breakwalls + oyster shell reef + BESE® elements. Placement optimized for wake dissipation.
Monitoring
Wave loggers (Hsig), SED elevation pins, seasonal habitat surveys.
