Abstract
This paper aims at describing the erosive influence of structures on the sea bottom. It describes the threat that may appear during the construction of rubble mound breakwaters, massive breakwater heads of vertical walls and dumping structures made as cellular cofferdam or perforated walls. Measurements and observations made in nature are compared with existing recommendations while damages and failures, which took place during recently realized projects, are described.
Most observations presented in the paper concern the reconstruction of the West Breakwater in Łeba Harbour, Poland, and the modernization of the entrance to the Port of Kołobrzeg, Poland.
