A triangle unit assembly block comprises a body portion comprising mutually facing first and second side surfaces and mutually facing third and fourth side surfaces between a upper surface and a lower surface; a first fastening protrusion formed on the first side surface of the body portion; a second fastening protrusion formed on the second side surface of the body portion; a first fastening groove formed on the third side surface of the body portion; and a second fastening groove formed on the fourth side surface of the body portion, wherein the first and second fastening protrusions are disposed to correspond to each other and protrude in mutually opposite directions, and the first and second fastening grooves are disposed to be misaligned with one another to be concave in mutually facing directions.

The present invention provides a low-energy coastal beach restoration method, comprising: constructing a convex beach berm, determining an aspect ratio of the beach berm edge, determining a beach face slope, performing sand replenishment, determining the dredging zone and dredging depth, and determining the steps of building a sediment groin. The present invention utilizes the feature of the convergence effect of the wave energy on the headland, artificially constructs a convex headland shaped beach berm, and determines the required beach face range and slope according to the convex beach berm edge. During beach restoration, dredging around the beach face, while reducing mud sources and increasing the nearshore water depth, it also builds a convex nearshore terrain, which effectively increases the wave energy at the restoration site and improves the coast muddy situation of low-energy coasts.

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.

A bio-friendly water flow control system can include a portable structure adapted to contain organic waste material. The water flow control system can be configured for deployment outdoors to guide water flow to limit erosion. A portable structure of such a system can include a sheath that is configured to contain waste material within an interior of the sheath. The portable structure may be configured to allow a flow of water into the interior of the sheath. The portable structure may include a waste material that includes processed palm frond particles. The portable structure may be configured to absorb a weight of water at least 50% greater than a dry weight of the portable structure.

Disclosed is a method of constructing an underwater concrete block structure, including: fabricating a plurality of concrete blocks having a vertical hole extending in the vertical direction; forming a foundation concrete block structure by installing the concrete block on the seafloor; vertically installing at least one guide pole in the foundation concrete block structure; forming a concrete block stack by repeating a process of positioning the concrete block to be installed above the surface of the water; and forming a main concrete column for binding the plurality of concrete blocks.

A berth for a multi-purpose disaster response ship includes: a quay at which the multi-purpose disaster response ship is berthed; a building located along the quay, including at least one quay-facing gate, and sharing at least one common purpose with the multi-purpose disaster response ship; a horizontal movement restrainer that restricts and permits horizontal movement of the multi-purpose disaster response ship relative to the quay; and a vertical movement restrainer that adjusts a vertical location of the multi-purpose disaster response ship to a specified level relative to the quay and that restricts and permits vertical movement of the multi-purpose disaster response ship situated at the specified level.

Disclosed is buoyant wave energy capture device, adapted to float adjacent to an upper surface of a body of water over which waves pass, and adapted to capture a portion of the radiated waves created by its own rising and falling in response to incident and/or passing environmental waves. A power take off mechanism combined with the disclosed wave energy capture device may be tuned to a specific wave frequency, and thereby optimally extract energy from a motion of a single frequency, even the wave energy capture device may be excited and/or energized by waves of any of a relatively broad range of frequencies, thereby increasing the power-generation and cost efficiencies of such devices relative to wave energy conversion devices of the prior art.

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.

A dynamically deployable, low visibility pneumatic cofferdam for flood mitigation is disclosed. The cofferdam includes a first planar component, a second planar component, an inflatable hermetic airbag sandwiched therebetween, and connection members attached to the first planar component, a second planar component to form a cofferdam unit. The connection members are adjustable to apply and maintain a desired amount of pressure on the airbag to enable a watertight seal to be formed. The cofferdam units may be sized and designed to sealingly mate adjacent cofferdam units in a variety of configurations to form watertight seals. The cofferdam units may also be sized and designed to attach to seawalls, flood walls, sidewalks, or other infrastructure. When in a deployed state, the height of the cofferdam may be adjusted to a desired height to provide flood mitigation. When in an undeployed state, the cofferdam remains in a substantially flat and unobtrusive position.
