Porous wave barriers represent a fundamentally smarter approach to coastal protection. Here's the science behind why porous design outperforms solid alternatives.

Wave breakers dissipate wave energy by interrupting the organized motion of an incoming wave — breaking it into turbulence and friction so the energy scatters harmlessly instead of striking the harbor or shoreline. Floating wave breakers like Wavebrake do this at the water's surface, where wave energy concentrates, achieving up to 85% wave attenuation.
