12: Acknowledgements

This paper recapitulates the experiences of the authors and in particular, of the main author’s experience from more than 45 years working with breakwaters design at a hydraulic laboratory (DHI) first as well as a consultant with COWI A/S.

By not acknowledging specific persons here, we do not risk of forgetting any. So instead, we would like to acknowledge all the colleagues, clients like owners and marine contractors with whom we have interacted over all these years and from whom we have gained important knowledge and experience on breakwaters and coastal engineering aspects. We would also like to acknowledge all the important exchange of knowledge and ideas with individuals in the academic world and colleagues in the coastal engineering community, that is so important for consultants working in the field.
