Greetings! By some estimates, more than half of Japan's natural coastline has been replaced by concrete structures of one kind or another, most for the purpose of coastal protection. So the next time you have a conversation about the sea in this country, chances are high that today's word will surface - or break water - somewhere!
BREAKWATER 防波堤
- Thanks to the breakwater, the water in the marina is usually pretty calm.
- (someone with a house on the coast)
The tetrapod breakwater they've built along the coast doesn't improve the scenery any, but we'll be glad it's there when the next big typhoon comes. - I caught a 10-pound sea eel yesterday while fishing off the breakwater.
It's been a pleasure!
