Abstract

The 2019 6th International Conference on Coastal and Ocean Engineering (ICCOE 2019) was held in Bangkok, Thailand, April 25-28, 2019. ICCOE 2019 is dedicated to issues related to Coastal and Ocean Engineering.The objective of the conference is to bring together interested academics and industry experts in the field of Coastal and Ocean Engineering to a common forum. Three keynote speeches were delivered. Prof. Chou Loke Ming from Tropical Marine Science Institute, National University of Singapore, presented a keynote speech “Coral Reef Restoration and Habitat Creation to Mitigate Urbanization and Climate Change Impacts”. Assoc. Prof. Baoping Cai from China University of Petroleum gave the keynote speech “Development of Subsea Systems for Offshore Oil and Gas Equipment, with Fault Diagnosis Issues”. Professor Koh Hock Lye from Sunway University, Malaysia gave the third keynote speech “Sustainability in Theory and in Practice: A Three-decade Reflection on Education for Sustainability”. In addition, an Invited Speech “Convection-permitting Projections of Future Changes in Hydroclimatic Characteristics” was given by Dr. Shuo Wang from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Papers were presented in four sessions of the conference: 1) Marine Ecology and Environment, 2) Ocean Engineering and Physics, 3) Wastewater Treatment, and 4) Health and Renewable Energy Application. 29 presentations were given by participants from 10 countries.This proceedings present a selection from papers submitted to the conference. All papers were subjected to peer-review by conference committee members and international reviewers. The papers selected depended on their quality and their relevance to the conference. This volume presents the recent advances in Coastal and Ocean Engineering and related areas, such as beach erosion and sediment transport, marine ecology and environment, climate change and sea level rise, lowland development and reclamation, subsea pipeline, coastal infrastructure development, deep sea engineering, and ocean activities platform.We would like to thank all the authors who have contributed to this volume, and also the organizing committee, reviewers, speakers, chairpersons, sponsors and all the conference participants for their support to ICCOE 2019.Prof. Chou Loke MingTropical Marine Science Institute, National University of Singapore, SingaporeMay 5, 2019
