Not sure why Dolosse are so special? There's lots of different forms and shapes of wave breakers, like the Tetrapods [1] that you can find over here across pretty much every coast in Europe. Maybe I'm just not getting it why the Dolosse shape is superior? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod_(structure) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod_(structure)

Apparently the Dolosse works a lot better for high energy wave environments like coastline of SA etc. They are used here, and I am sure they considered Tetrapods and there was a reason they weren't suitable.

  ITT the consensus is they don't actually work better, but, were royalty free. No idea about either, myself.

    Another thing is that you need a lot fewer of them to stack to get the same effect. So cost saving.
