Rock breakwaters are used to protect marsh shoreline from erosion
Rock breakwaters are used to protect marsh shoreline from erosionThe estuarine shoreline of barrier islands along the Gulf of America are vulnerable to shoreline erosion. Structures, such as this rock breakwater, can be used to protect the shoreline from erosional waves.
