The objective of this study is to determine the best place to locate a coral restoration on a coral reef to reduce flooding on the adjacent shoreline for different characteristic reef profiles and oceanographic forcing conditions. An extensive set of physics-based XBeach Non-hydrostatic hydrodynamic model simulations (with input files here included) were used to evaluate the best locations to site restorations to reduce coastal flooding and to identify their governing mechanisms.
