1. breakwater

   A breakwater is a structure constructed in a body of water, like a sea or river, designed to protect a coast or harbor from the force of waves. It reduces the intensity of wave action in inshore waters and contributes to minimizing coastal erosion or damage. Breakwaters can be built from concrete, rock, steel, or other materials. They are typically built offshore and can either be floating or based on the ocean floor.
