Artificial reef
An artificial reef is a man-made underwater structure, typically built to promote marine life in areas with a generally featureless bottom, to control erosion, block ship passage, or improve surfing.

Breakwater (structure)
Breakwaters are structures constructed on coasts as part of coastal management or to protect an anchorage from the effects of both weather and longshore drift.

Carbon footprint
A carbon footprint is historically defined as the total emissions caused by an individual, event, organisation, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent.

Coastal engineering
Coastal engineering is a branch of civil engineering concerned with the specific demands posed by constructing at or near the coast, as well as the development of the coast itself.

Coastal erosion
Coastal erosion is the wearing away of material from a coastal profile including the removal of beach, sand dunes, or sediment by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, drainage or high winds (see also beach evolution).

Coastal management
Coastal management is defence against flooding and erosion, and techniques that stop erosion to claim lands.

Dolos
A dolos (plural: dolosse) is a reinforced concrete block in a complex geometric shape weighing up to, used in great numbers as a form of coastal management to build revetments for protection against the erosive force of waves from a body of water.

Formwork
Formwork is temporary or permanent molds into which concrete or similar materials are poured.

KOLOS
KOLOS is a concrete interlocking armour unit intended to protect coastal structures like seawalls and breakwaters from the ocean waves.

Molding (process)
Molding or moulding (see spelling differences) is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix.

Patent
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state or intergovernmental organization to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention.

Seawall
A seawall (or sea wall) is a form of coastal defence constructed where the sea, and associated coastal processes, impact directly upon the landforms of the coast.
New!!: Xbloc and Seawall · See more »
Tetrapod (structure)
Tetrapods are a type of structure in coastal engineering used to prevent erosion caused by weather and longshore drift, primarily to enforce coastal structures such as seawalls and breakwaters.

Wind wave
In fluid dynamics, wind waves, or wind-generated waves, are surface waves that occur on the free surface of bodies of water (like oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, canals, puddles or ponds).
