PILE GUIDE AND ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING
A pile guide has a collar with a void therein. A planar flange extends from a side of the collar. A first guide and a second guide form opposing guides constructed and arranged for receiving the planar flange of the pile guide therein. The planar flange is in a slidable relationship within the opposing guides, and the bracket is constructed and arranged for mounting to a dock. The opposing guides pivot relative to the dock during installation and allow pivoting of the pile guide relative to the dock or other mounting. The distance and angle of the collar relative to the dock or other mounting can be adjusted to accommodate for positioning of pile guides due to positioning of piles relative to a dock or other structure.
Modular sea wall system
The modular sea wall forms a sea wall constructed from two different blocking bodies: a front blocking body and a rear blocking body. The front blocking body is located seaward and the rear blocking body is located shoreward. The front blocking body provides a front wall that curves upward to the uppermost surface of the front blocking body. The front blocking body attaches to the rear blocking body at the top of the curve. The rear blocking body provides a rear wall that attaches to the front blocking body. The rear wall may be a vertical wall that extends vertically downward without curving or a curved wall that curves downwards from the attachment point to the rear end of the rear attachment body. The front wall and rear wall may provide openings that allow water to flow through the front wall and the rear wall.

Frame rail assemblies and interlocking frame rail systems
A boat dock structure includes an upper deck, sides extending downward from the upper deck, and a wheel bumper having a substantially round shape. The wheel bumper has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being positioned under the upper deck, the second portion extending outward from the cutout portion of at least one of the sides to protect the boat dock and a boat from damage when the boat is docking at the boat dock adjacent to the wheel bumper. At least one of the sides may have a cutout portion.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL CONNECTOR FOR MODULAR FLOATING PLATFORMS
A modular floating platform connector includes a connecting unit with a hollow center chamber that has one or more inside diameters. The chamber may have wall surfaces to secure components to modular floating platforms. The connector may further incorporate one or more external features such as a collar and retaining ribs that engage with the connecting tabs on modular floating platform float modules to securely hold the float modules together and to retain attachment members of accessories, fixtures, structures and other components to modular floating platforms.
SHORELINE STABILIZATION DEVICE
A device designed to stabilize a shoreline which helps to prevent erosion, provides and supports a place for aquatic life to thrive, and is made from a plurality of primarily calcium carbonate material sourced from living creatures and is cemented together using a commercially available cement or bio-cement material.

Marine Dock Suction Float Element
A floating marine dock employs a plurality of spaced-apart suction float elements. Each element includes a foam filled plastic shell having a plurality of suction pockets that extend vertically upwardly through and beyond a bottom wall section of the shell to an upper end within the shell. When a load is placed on the dock or walkway, the buoyant float element produces a low pressure or vacuum space within each pocket and a resultant suction that forcefully adheres the float elements and dock securely to the underlying water
WAVE ATTENUATION METHOD AND DEVICE
A method of attenuating the amplitude of waves having a given center wavelength, the method including the use of a device including: an assembly of a plurality of modules juxtaposed next to each other along a given direction, each module including at least one cavity having a first opening and a second opening; wherein the modules are placed in a position in which the first opening of each cavity is permanently submerged and the second opening is in communication with the ambient air, the dimensions of the cavities being determined so that each cavity forms a resonant cavity at the given center frequency.
MOORING DEVICE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING OMNIDIRECTIONAL RESTORING FORCE
The present invention provides a mooring device capable of providing an omnidirectional restoring force. A support frame is provided on a dock. Two free guide rollers are provided at vertical corresponding positions that are respectively below a cross arm of the support frame and above the dock. A rotary damper is provided in the middle of a longitudinal portion of the support frame that is perpendicular to the dock. The two free guide rollers are respectively wound with a cable. The cable is fixed to a platform arm, and the platform arm is connected to a platform. An end of each cable is connected to a spring, and the other end of the spring is connected to a chain wound on a sprocket of the rotary damper.
