Abstract
Recently, due to increased tourism and leisure activities, falls by fishers from coastal wave-dissipating blocks (breakwaters) in Korea have been rising. We investigated the optimal mesh size for use in safety nets designed to cover Tetrapod (TTP) breakwaters to prevent casualties from falls. This is a prerequisite for considering the scale and economics of safety net facilities. The optimal mesh size was determined based on the fisher gender and age, and the bodily features of Koreans. The optimal mesh size was found to be 18.6-27.0 cm, derived based on the femoral length and chest circumference.
