Integrated drag coefficient formula for estimating the wave attenuation capacity of Rhizophora sp. mangrove forests

Recently, bulk drag coefficient (C˜D) formulations used to quantify wave energy dissipation by Rhizophora mangroves were developed from laboratory data; however, these formulations have not yet been validated with field data. Additionally, due to the complex geometry of mangrove trees within forests...
