Vertical telescopic breakwater under development

OSAKA, Japan - The vertical telescopic breakwater, a buoyancy-driven vertical piling breakwater system under development in defense against tsunami, is seen in Kainan, Wakayama Prefecture, in March 2013. It was learned on June 19, 2014, that the breakwater, expected to be implemented as the world's first such system by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Kinki Regional Development Bureau, may not function properly due to a lack of strength.
