Abstract
The purpose of this report is to find out which floating breakwaters can be utilized in open sea conditions and what can be expected of them. Since every breakwater interferes with the energy of the waves, it is logical that a probable power generation function of floating breakwaters is also investigated. This report is a global review of the literature about floating breakwaters and energy devices. It is not complete, but the most important types are investigated systematically.
