ABSTRACT:
A unitized modular structure is provided for utilizing the kinetic energy in waves, tides and winds to effect deposits of fluid entrained alluvium. The modular structure is formed of individual modular elements each of which has a sloping rear surface and a generally concave surface along the front thereof. The modular elements are reinforced interiorly, and certain of the elements are provided with integral foot members to position, stabilize and anchor the unitized structure during and after installation.
