| Abstract | This Thesis aims to integrate the application of vegetated seawall in the land reclamation project of the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Atimonan in Quezon Province. The intention is to mitigate the incursion of coastal flooding and storm surge inundation on the reclaimed land. The Researcher has investigated the effectiveness of combined mangroves and oyster reefs in preventing storm surge inundation and other tsunami-like waves through simulations using the ADCIRC+SWAN program. Aside from the existing land reclamation layout of the LGU, the Thesis has also experimented with a Crenulate Bay approach of land reclamation to see if it will be less inundated during a storm surge. The Crenulate Bay is assumed to carry over the existing coastal system behavior of the original shoreline to the new shoreline. Four scenarios are examined during the experiment to justify which option is much better; the first two are simulations based on the existing land reclamation layout in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the LGU, with and without mangrove and oyster reefs. The last two scenarios are simulations of the Proposed Crenulate Bay Layout (based on existing coastal behavior, meteorological and hydrological forcing) of a land reclamation with and without mangrove and oyster reefs. The ADCIRC and SWAN model developed in this study allows the program to simulate non-bare earth models to be able to explore and study wave behaviors concerning non-existing/hypothetical Islands. The study arrived with a conclusion that the Crenulate Bay is better by 39.15 percent (%) than the LGU’s land reclamation layout, and the Mangrove and Oyster breaker reef can effectively prevent storm surge inundation. |
