Breakwaters have been built since Antiquity to protect anchorages, helping isolate vessels from marine hazards such as wind-driven waves. [1]
Breakwater, artificial offshore structure protecting a harbour, anchorage, or marina basin from water waves. Breakwaters intercept longshore currents and tend to prevent beach erosion. Over the long term, however, the processes of erosion and sedimentation cannot be effectively overcome by.

Oct 19, 2023 · A breakwater’s basic purpose is to shield the shoreline from strong wave action. It does this by lowering the tidal energy as it hits the structure and gets reflected off. Compared to the seaward seas, the waters lying behind these breakwater structures are notably calmer and better protected from tidal currents.
They often function as a breakwater in that they reduce the wave action behind it. In the following the morphological functions of these jetties or breakwaters are explored. Function 1: Blocking the longshore transport of sand, which would otherwise settle into a dredged approach channel
