Breakwater
A breakwater is a structure built along a shoreline to protect a coast or harbor from the force of waves. It is typically made of large rocks or concrete blocks and is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of incoming waves, reducing erosion and creating a calmer area of water behind it. Breakwaters can be found in both natural and man-made settings and play a crucial role in coastal engineering and coastal protection.
