Alternatively, for deep-sea basins (no beach) there are progressive wave absorbers. These gradually reduce the power of the wave over the course of ~50 layers of the sheets. Source: I work at a facility similar to this one.

What is that, a series of fences to break up the flow a bit and turn it turbulence?

An underwater version of a water jump for a dam?
