MODULAR MARINE FOUNDATION
The present disclosure provides for marine foundation modules to support erosion control structures for protection against coastal shoreline erosion. The module has a planar base having at least four connected wall sections, with each wall section having an upper tapered wall section extending outwardly from the planar base and a lower vertical wall section extending downwardly from the upper wall section. The at least four wall sections and the planar base define an inner cavity having an inner surface area, the inner surface area having a central planar inner surface extending outwardly to an inner tapered surface transitioning concavely to an inner lower vertical wall surface. The lower vertical wall sections are configured to embed into soil of a sea bed floor, for anchoring the module. The inner cavity encloses the soil, such that the soil exerts an upward force on the inner surface area of the module to enhance load bearing capacity of the module.
