benthos encrustation weathering shore protection coastal engineeringdescription
Benthic organisms can form a persistent biological layer that mediates processes of rock deterioration and limits the degradation of the underlying surface. In this study we investigated the bioprotective potential of barnacle encrustations against salt weathering processes, and discuss their possible role in enhancing the durability of coastal engineering structures
