An erosion control system comprising a plurality of interconnected blocks that each include an upper face, a lower face, multiple sides, and connector recesses disposed on at least some of the sides, with each the connector recesses extending inwardly from an outer surface of the respective side at which it is disposed. Each block is configured to be connected with an adjacent block with one side of each block being disposed adjacent one side of an adjacent block and at least one connector recess of each block being aligned with one of the connector recesses of the adjacent block. The adjacent blocks are connected together at aligned connector recesses by a linkage assembly, with the adjacent blocks being able to pivot relative to each other via the linkage assembly.

An interlocking modular smart seawall diversion and recreation system provides step-shaped diverter sections arranged side-by-side along a shoreline. The diverter sections slope from a base end up towards an upper end. To break kinetic energy of waves, and divert waves, the diverter sections form steps with curved risers and horizontal treads. The system forms a diversion path for the waves that reach the upper end of the modular walls and recirculate the wave energy back to divertor chamber and natural environment. Foundation pilings project into the ground and extend up to support the wall sections. The bottom end of foundation pilings terminates at sheared attachments having a tapered cross section and an edge for securely anchoring into the ground. A platform atop the diverter sections provides a pathway; a lighted platform for recreational activities; and transparent skylight portals for observing aquatic wildlife in water below and creating an indigenous ecosystem.

A cellular structure includes a plurality of interconnected cells of fabric material. The cells are at least partially filled with a composite fill material that includes a particulate material and a bonding agent. A cellular unit made up of a plurality of the interconnected cells may have an associated load-bearing frame to enable lifting and/or transportation of the structure. The fill material is preferably resilient.

A seawall comprising a base with a top, a plurality of extensions on the top of the base, and an adhesive or sealant securing the extensions to the base. Each extension comprises a plurality of spaced apart rubber poles extending generally in a direction horizontal to the sea floor, and an outer rubber covering surrounding the poles. A method of increasing the height of a seawall comprising the steps of placing a plurality of the extensions on top of the seawall with the poles extending substantially parallel to the sea floor, and securing the extensions to the top of the seawall.
