A dolos (plural: dolosse: 10 ) is a wave-dissipating concrete block used in great numbers as a form of coastal management. It is a type of tetrapod. Weighing...

A tetrapod is a form of wave-dissipating concrete block used to prevent erosion caused by weather and longshore drift, primarily to enforce coastal structures...
