Abstract
The mangrove forest as whole is an obstacle to wave motion. In this paper, the theoritical attempt to predict the attenuation of wind-included random surface wave in mangrove forest is presented. Wave motion is considered to be partly reflected from partly attenuated by interaction with trunks, and only partly transmitted through forest. The resulting rate of wave energy attenuation depends strongly on the density of the mangrove forest, diameter of mangrove roots and trunks.
