This study discusses the critical importance of wave modeling in coastal engineering and environmental management, particularly in the Philippines. It highlights how coastal communities face challenges due to oceanic changes influenced by climate change and human activities. The study emphasizes the Philippines' vulnerability to typhoons, which cause significant wave threats and coastal changes.

This outlines the importance of wave modeling in understanding coastal dynamics, predicting hazards, and informing coastal development projects. It cites several studies that underscore the impact of wave activity on sea level rise, coastal flooding, and erosion.
