This disclosure presents a method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for evaluating the disaster prevention and mitigation effectiveness of an ecological seawall, addressing the issue of limited protective performance in current designs. The proposed method involves first implementing ecological enhancements to a target seawall, followed by constructing a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model to analyze environmental forces.  

Based on the changes in sediment transport and coastal morphology, the method determines a development index for tidal flats in front of the seawall. Finally, by integrating the wave overtopping index and the tidal flat development index, the disaster prevention and mitigation effectiveness grade of the ecological seawall is calculated. This approach offers a comprehensive framework to assess and improve the performance of ecological seawalls in coastal protection.
