• 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)

  [Abbstract] 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 ...

• 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 ...

• Modelling Operative and Routine Learning Curves in Manoeuvres in Locks and in Transit in the Expanded Panama Canal 

  Carral Couce, Luis; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier; Vega Sáenz, Adán; Bogle, Johnny; Alemán, Gabriel; Naya, Salvador (Cambridge University Press, 2021-05)

  [Abstract] Piloting in the Panama Canal is exceptional as, due to its importance, the functions of the captains of vessels are taken over by pilots. Hence, prior to inauguration of the expanded canal, a limited number of ...

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Consumption of Coastal Ecosystem Enhancement Programme through Sustainable Artificial Reefs in Galicia 

  Carral Couce, Luis; Cartelle Barros, Juan José; Carro Fidalgo, Humberto; Camba, C.; Munín-Doce, Alicia (MDPI, 2021)

  [Abstract] The principle of sustainability should condition a project in which artificial reefs are being installed to protect biodiversity as well as enhance costal ecosystems. In particular, this principle should be taken ...

• Assessment of the Materials Employed in Green Artificial Reefs for the Galician Estuaries in Terms of Circular Economy 

  Carral Couce, Luis; Camba, C.; Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez-Guerreiro, María J.; Cartelle Barros, Juan José (MDPI, 2020)

  [Abstract] To exploit marine resources in a sustainable way, efficient management systems must be used such as green artificial reefs (GARs). These reefs are mostly made up of renewable and organic materials. When adopting ...
