The invention is a combination submerged breakwater and barrier reef comprised of a plurality of modules. Each module is placed upon the seabed, and includes angle base with gripping toes to prevent movement. The base supports a generally crescent shaped, concave seaward face and a similar crescent shaped, concave beachward face. The beachward face includes an elongated apron to further stabilize the unit, and has a greater degree of curvature when compared to the seaward face. Each module also includes a plurality of channels which are angularly expanding towards the beachward face, and provide passages for wave portions to flow through the reef further collapsing the wave in a desired manner. The modules also include interlocking members which allow for the reef to be constructed along a continuous, axial line, or alternatively staggered to provide a non-uniform reef.
