A transportable wave suppressor and sediment collection (WSSC) system, including a method of installing same, the system installed to suppress wave action and provide land restoration along the shore of a body of water, such as a coastline, which includes a plurality of interconnected sections of the system, each section including a base, a forward wall, and a rear wall, having a plurality of fluid flow pipes extending from the forward wall to the rear wall, for allowing water including sediment to flow into the pipes at the forward wall and exit the pipes at the rear wall. There is further provided a one-way valve member at the rear wall exit of each pipe, so that water carrying sediment cannot return through the pipe as the wave action recedes from the coastline. To allow water to return to the body of water, there is provided a flow opening including a weir between multiple sections so that water is able to flow there through. Each of the sections would be self-contained, and constructed of a material to allow each section to be floated to a location, wherein material, such as water, or the like, can be pumped into each section resulting in the section to sink and rest on the floor of the body of water, with an upper portion of the section extending a distance above the water surface. The sections would be interconnected and anchored to the floor, so as to provide a continuous system, interrupted only by the water return outlets as stated earlier. |
