What is reef breakwater?
A reef breakwater is a low-crested rubble-mound breakwater without the traditional multilayer cross section. This type of breakwater is little more than a homogeneous pile of stones with individual stone weights similar to those ordinarily used in the armor and first underlayer of conventional breakwaters. 2. In recent years a number of low-crested breakwaters have been built or considered for use at a variety of locations. Most of these structures are intended to protect a beach or reduce the cost of beach maintenance. Other applications include protecting water intakes for power plants and entrance channels for small-boat harbors and providing an alternative to revetment for stabilizing an eroding shoreline. In situations where only partial attenuation of waves on the leeside of a structure is required, or possibly even advantageous, a low-crested rubble-mound breakwater is a logical selection. Since the cost of a rubble-mound breakwater increases rapidly with the height of the crest, the economic advantage of a low-crested structure over a traditional breakwater that is infrequently overtopped is obvious. Because the reef breakwater represents the ultimate in design simplicity, it .could be the optimum structure for many situations. Unfortunately, the performance of lowcrested rubble-mound structures, particularly reef breakwaters, is not well documented or understood

Is the saltwater crocodile found in the Great Barrier Reef?
No. The Great Barrier Reef is located offshore, parallel to the Queensland coast, in the Coral Sea. Crocodiles do not live in the sea. However, crocodiles have been observed within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park area, although it is not considered to be their usual habitat. They have been observed basking on some of the coral islands and coral cays in the far north, but there are no crocodile breeding grounds on the reef.
