ABSTRACT:
A system for combating coastal erosion comprised of a sufficient number of sand trapping assemblies that include a conical member and a hexagonal base. The conical member has upper and lower ends with respective openings for receiving and discharging the sand brought by the water currents. Contiguous assemblies are disposed so that the entire bottom surface is covered. The hexagonal base interlocks the different assemblies. If necessary, one way stakes can be used to further secure the assemblies to the bottom of the body of water being protected.
