Wave suppressor and sediment collection system
A system and method to provide water and sediment flow through a dam or rock jetty, including a plurality of flow pipes positioned through the dam or jetty to receive water carrying sediment and a principal flow pipe to receive flow from the plurality of flow pipes and to deposit water and sediment a predetermined distance to the rear of the dam or jetty. A continuous trough may be mounted on the jetty forward face to efficiently capture water and sediment at entrances of the plurality of flow pipes. A system and method is also provided to suppress wave action against a shoreline and to collect sediment to build up the shoreline, comprising shelves extending out from a front wall of each body section, below a plurality of flow pipes, the shelves for shearing a wave and dispersing and using wave energy to direct sediment through the flow pipes.

Tire assembly and a method of building a support structure in a marine environment using tires
A tire assembly for use in reclaiming land from a marine environment. An anchor having at least one cable connected thereto acts as a base to which tires are connected by threading them down the cable to form a cylindrical tower of tires which can be filled with concrete or filler if desired. A plurality of the tire assemblies can be positioned adjacent to one another and further interconnected for stability purposes and can form the basis for further structural elements.
Water replacement type storage field construction method and storage field
The present application provides a water replacement type storage field construction method, including the following steps: construction of a water-stop enclosure; construction of drainage after enclosing: after enclosing the water-stop enclosure, draining water in an enclosed range of the water-stop enclosure, exposing a pit, so as to form dry construction condition; construction of a stacking yard: under the dry construction condition, constructing the stacking yard on the pit, including constructing a lower low-level terrace and a higher high-level terrace; wherein the low-level terrace is lower than an average water level at an outer side of the water-stop enclosure, the high-level terrace is able to be used for walking a stacking-reclaiming device, and the stacking-reclaiming device is able to convey material to or from warehouses; and construction of the warehouses: constructing warehouses on the low-level terrace.

Algal Wave Guide
The present invention pertains to optical wave guides (ie structures that guide waves by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction) buoys, anchors, and climate change. The Algal Wave Guide directs energy to Algae in maritime and lake environments in order to expand the viable range of highly productive carbon sequestering environments such as the Brown Algae among others. Sequestering carbon at sea has several advantages over terrestrial methods such as lower cost, surface availability compared to land based real estate, reduced infrastructure, increased fishery quotas, commercial chemical and lubricant production, tourism, fertilizer inputs, etc.
