What is a Breakwater?

A breakwater is a human-made structure built parallel to the shoreline, extending into the water. It acts as a barrier, absorbing and deflecting wave energy, thereby protecting shorelines, harbors, and other coastal infrastructure from erosion and damage. Breakwaters are constructed using various materials, including:

• Stones: This traditional method utilizes large, naturally occurring rocks to create a robust barrier.
• Concrete Blocks: Precast concrete blocks offer a controlled and efficient construction process.
• Accropodes: These interlocking concrete units provide superior stability and wave dissipation.

Why are Breakwaters Important?

Breakwaters play a vital role in coastal protection by offering several crucial benefits:

• Erosion Control: Breakwaters shield shorelines from wave action, preventing erosion and safeguarding coastal environments.
• Harbor Protection: By minimizing wave energy within harbors, breakwaters create calmer waters for safe berthing and maneuvering of ships.
• Infrastructure Defense: Breakwaters protect vital coastal infrastructure like ports, marinas, and power plants from wave damage and flooding.
• Beach Nourishment: Breakwaters can facilitate beach nourishment projects by trapping sediment, promoting the natural replenishment of coastlines.
