Fishing Pier

• Many piers are built for the purpose of

providing boatless anglers access to fishing
grounds that are otherwise inaccessible.
Breakwater Wharves
• Breakwaters reduce the intensity of wave
action in inshore waters and thereby reduce
coastal erosion or provide safe harbourage.

Jetties

protects a coastline from the currents and

shore into the water.
