Future uses of floating breakwaters were discussed at a workshop. Participants said that floating structures, which would dissipate wave energy, might someday be used to protect many harbor facilities, control coastal erosion and protect swimming areas. Among the other ideas were futuristic floating breakwaters which could protect areas for seaplane airports, and breakwaters which could protect offshore nuclear power plants, oil refineries and deep water ports.
