Sillago schomburgkii inhabits coastal waters of south-western Australia, where it occurs over
a wide latitudinal range (22–35° S). The species has occupied this range for at least the past …

Background Seagrasses are clonal marine plants that form important biotic habitats in many
tropical and temperate coastal ecosystems. While there is a reasonable understanding of …

The land–sea breeze (LSB) system, driven by the thermal contrast between the land and the
adjacent ocean is a widely known atmospheric phenomenon, which occurs in coastal …

Sandy beaches in estuaries and bays are distinct from open-coast beaches in that they are
partially or fully sheltered from ocean waves. The sheltering increases the importance of …

Mechanisms through which naturally-occurring hard landforms, such as rock and coral reefs,
influence coastal sediment transport are still poorly understood. Therefore, field …

Seagrass meadows are prominent in many coastal zones worldwide and significant
contributors to global primary production. The large bottom roughness (or canopy) created …

We measured water levels in Two Rocks Marina, Western Australia, to investigate
infragravity-period (25–300 s) oscillations and their forcing mechanisms. Spectral analyses …

Infragravity (IG) period oscillations in harbours and marinas can often lead to interruption in
harbour operations due to excessive vessel movements. Field measurements in Two Rocks …

Observations of upper-ocean dynamics close to the critical latitude (ratio of the local inertial
to diurnal frequency is 0.94) from a range of platforms (surface currents using HF radar …

Abstract Knowledge of regional wave climates is critical for coastal planning, management,
and protection. In order to develop a regional wave climate, it is important to understand the …
