PROJECT AIMED AT OPTIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to determine the best mix of restoration technologies for enclosed coastal seas, and introduces a case of Amagasaki Harbor project as one example of on-site experiments.
The Amagasaki Harbor project is a typical example of the on-site experiments. In this project, field studies of artificial tidal flat, artificial lagoon, floating seaweed bed, and inhabitable quaywall are performed at one site to estimate their environmental restoration efficiencies. The best mix is determined by the results of case studies, such as field surveys, on-site experiments, and numerical simulations.
