How WaveEater works
1WaveEater is an innovative, convenient floating wave attenuator system designed for various waterfront applications that is both easy to install and environmentally safe.
WaveEater is constructed of linear low density molded polyethylene with a high density polyethylene tubular core. The interior is hollow which is filled with water at installation until the units are two-thirds submerged. The exterior has a series of baffles that agitate back and forth as the waves strike the system.
Wave Dissipation
2WaveEater's innovative design allows for a number of different configurations based on the amount of wave dissipation (the removal of wave height and energy) required, as it passes through the attenuator.

When engineering a system we take into account the wave length, (distance crest to crest), wave height, water depth and fetch distance. Based on those results we can design a system specific to your needs.
Protection
3WaveEater provides a means of protection that is both economical and functional. Installations in the US and various other countries have been designed for protecting marinas, boat launch facilities, utility spillways, shore erosion prevention and even fish farms.
Since WaveEater is comprised of plastic and filled with water it's "footprint" on the environment is minimal, thereby allowing for an expedited processing when design and installation permits are required.
