I came across a blog that has been around for awhile but which I had missed until now. The Maritime Homeland & Port Security Blog written by the folks at Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. (WPT). WPT develop products based on a technology they call WhisprWave which they describe as follows:
Since it's founding in 1995, Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. (WDT) has been developing the WhisprWave® floating articulated breakwater technology to afford erosion control protection to shoreline beaches, coastal marinas, anchorages, and other areas subject to destructive or nnoying erosionary wave / wake forces. The potential uses for the WhisprWave® Technology have, over the last few years, expanded far beyond its stricly environmentally focused beach and sand erosion protection beginnings to encompass marine port security and global antiterrorism applications.
You can read more about the WhisprWave technology here. The Port Secuirty Blog is filled with interesting posts concerning the Department of Homeland Security and port security initatives in the US and abroad.
WPT also authors the Coastal Erosion Blog, which might be of interest to some.
