Geotextile tubes as submerged breakwaters are the shoreline climate-adaptive infrastructure. The project proposed fiber sensing, a weavable sensor for geotextile tubes, to capture environmental changes, soil, and waves, specifically in this project, enabling an IoT shoreline. The research includes fiber sensor prototype development and two set experiments - deformation experiments on fiber sensors of varying diameters and treatment and water tank waves experiments on breakwater mockups.
