An innovative floating forest reduces wind and wave damage to help protect vulnerable shorelines.
The patented design was created by the University of Queensland's Prof. Chien Ming Wang, and features a sloped concrete surface able to dissipate the energy of oncoming waves much like a runaway truck ramp slows the vehicle. The top of the floating structure would also include a ‘forest’ of concrete tubes more than 65 feet tall that would reduce wind speed before it hits the shore, with the entire array reaching just over half a mile long.
