text: In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a breakwater structure to be moored in open water at a selected location to attenuate wave action for a desired period of time, comprising an elongated primary barrier formed of a flexible material and having an enclosed interior cavity, said barrier being adapted to float in open water and to contain a liquid within said cavity pressurized to a level substantially As used herein, "substantially greater" means a difference in pressure which is tensile forces in the material forming the wall of the primary barrier, and that such tensile forces enhance the wrinkle and buckle resistance of the material, thus enhancing the overall stiffness of the breakwater, which is a highly desirable characteristic for an effective floating breakwater.
