ABSTRACT:
A modular artificial reef effective to prevent shoreline erosion is constructed of base modules placed in side-by-side contact adjacent the shoreline and locked together by superposed reef-forming modules, preferably having a triangular prismatic shape presenting a gently sloping face to the sea, which contact is at least two base modules and are in side-by-side contact with each other.
