• Application of residuals from purification of bivalve molluscs in Galician to facilitate marine ecosystem resiliency through artificial reefs with shells – One generation 

  Carral Couce, Luis; Lamas, M.I.; Buenhombre, José Luis Mier; Cartelle Barros, Juan José; Naya, Salvador; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier (Elsevier, 2023-01-15)

  [Abstract] The seas and oceans of the planet provide a wide range of essential resources. However, marine ecosystems are undergoing severe degradation due to the unsustainable exploitation and consumption patterns of the ...

• Proposed Conceptual Framework to Design Artificial Reefs Based on Particular Ecosystem Ecology Traits 

  Carral Couce, Luis; Lamas, M.I.; Cartelle Barros, Juan José; López, I.; Carballo, Rodrigo (MDPI, 2022-04-28)

  [Abstract] Overfishing and pollution have led to marine habitat degradation, and as a result, marine fisheries are now in decline. Consequently, there is a real need to enhance marine ecosystems while halting the decline ...

• Definition of an Artificial Reef Unit through Hydrodynamic and Structural (CFD and FEM) Models—Application to the Ares-Betanzos Estuary 

  Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez-Guerreiro, María J.; Lamas Vigo, Javier; Ameneiros Rodríguez, Ismael; Veira Lorenzo, Ricardo; Carral Couce, Juan Carlos; Carral Couce, Luis (MDPI, 2022)

  [Abstract] The application of hydrodynamics to the definition of artificial reefs is of great interest since the positioning of the artificial reef modules on the sea floor alters the water velocity field, causing an ...

• Configuration Methodology for a Green Variety Reef System (AR group) Based on Hydrodynamic Criteria – Application to the Ría de Ares-Betanzos 

  Carral Couce, Luis; Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez-Guerreiro, María J.; Vargas, Andreina; Álvarez-Feal, José-Carlos; López, Iván; Carballo, Rodrigo (Elsevier, 2021-05-05)

  [Abstract] For the evolution and development of artificial reefs to attain the expected results, hydrodynamics is emerging as a key factor that must be taken analyzed in detail. In particular, thanks to the hydrodynamics ...

• Erosive Degradation Study of Concrete Augmented by Mussel Shells for Marine Construction 

  Camba, C.; Mier, José; Carral Couce, Luis; Lamas, M.I.; Álvarez-Feal, José-Carlos; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier (MDPI, 2021-10)

  [Abstract] This work proposes a green material for artificial reefs to be placed in Galicia (northwest Spain) taking into account the principles of circular economy and sustainability of the ecosystem. New concrete ...
