MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617079119 A) filed by National And Kapodistrian University Of Athens on June 26, 2026, for Artificially Triggered Natural Barrier For Coastal Protection.
Inventors include Evelpidou, Niki; and Saitis, Giannis.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The application presents a natural-based solution to the problem of coastal protection, based on soft engineering and minimising use of raw materials and energy use. Through the integration of field work, laboratory analysis, and in situ formation, a multidisciplinary approach incorporating sciences such as geomorphology, microbiology, geology, morphodynamics and engineering is employed. The process facilitates the development of an artificially-triggered, but naturally-developed submerged structure, offering a comprehensive approach to coastal protection that can have diverse applications in coastal engineering.
