ABSTRACT:
An offshore reef assembly having rows of reef members of concrete or similar material with the configuration of each of the reef members providing inclined side faces arranged in grooves and ribs. The reef members may be formed by stacking blocks in the form of frustums of pyramids or cones. The interaction of the inclined side faces of the adjacent reef members with the vertically moving water caused by waves dissipates kinetic energy of the water and results in the deposition of sand and particulates on the bottom around the reef assembly.
