Abstract Marine Animal Forests (MAFs) form three-dimensional seascapes and provide
substrate and shelter for a variety of species. We investigated the fine-scale distribution …

A particularity of island areas is that they are subjected to strong sea state conditions that
can have a severe impact on the beach stability, while on the other hand, they rely mainly on …
