Effects of shoreline armouring and overwater structures on coastal and estuarine fish: opportunities for habitat improvement (2017, unknown): “Epibenthic (e.g. Morley, Toft & Hanson 2012) and terrestrial (e.g. Dugan et al. 2008; Sobocinski, Cordell & Simenstad 2010) invertebrates are negatively impacted along armoured shorelines, presumably because armouring displaces or severs connections to their habitats.”
Identifying the consequences of ocean sprawl for sedimentary habitats (2017, background): “In other instances, the reduced retention of wrack may be due to loss of the high intertidal and supratidal habitat, at whichmaterial accumulates on unarmored shorelines (Dugan et al., 2008; Heatherington and Bishop, 2012).”
Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “Recent research has shown that beaches protected by hard defences suffer reduced availability of habitat and macroinvertebrates due to the loss of upper intertidal zones, which has led to reduced species richness and abundance of shorebirds and seabirds (Dugan et al. 2008).”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “- important sites for species could be lost (e.g. Dugan et al., 2008; Jaramillo et al., 2012).”
