Evaluating the potential for re-using timber from deconstructed sea defence groynes from the Bournemouth groyne field John WilliamsDennis Jones<p>Groynes have been part of the coastal appearance for centuries, helping prevent coastal erosion resulting from the littoral drift of material with prevailing sea currents. Whilst the use of rock groynes increased during the late 20th Century, the use of timber still remains the material of choice. Their performance depends upon the timber species used, and often sections are suitable for re-use. Assessment of the replacement of groyne fields in Bournemouth, United Kingdom appears to show the suitability of certain species to be re-used. Results indicated that ekki was the most suitable species for re-use, closely followed by greenheart.</p> Annals of Marine Science - Peertechz Publications 2024-06-13 Mini Review https://doi.org/10.17352/ams.000044 en Copyright © John Williams et al.
