Breakwaters May Be Coming to Staten Island
- "The breakwaters - stone walls underwater about a quarter-mile off shore - would be placed around the southern tip of the borough, near Conference House Park. They provide a natural barrier against flooding and wave damage, because as a tidal surge hits the breakwaters, it loses its energy, sapping the velocity from the water before it hits the shore." - excerpt from article at silive.com.
