ABSTRACT:
A submerged breakwater and barrier reef module, the reef being placed upon the seabed for protecting shorelines from the deleterious effects of wave energy including beach erosion.
The module is comprised of a base, having a bottom surface and securing the module to the seabed. The base supports a seaward face for initially receiving an oncoming wave and partially dissipating the wave energy. The seaward face includes a plurality of depressions, and these depressions control scouring about the module.
