Abstract	Many inshore wave energy collectors (WEC) concepts use wave energy to push water ashore to process it for energy conversion with turbines. An artificial reef design of floating HPDE pipe can be built in a harbor and installed offshore of the breaking waves in the near shore. The portable reef designed to mitigate shore erosion can serve as the shuttle and as a platform for WECs. Our research has yielded a group of simple biomorphic WEC designs. A myriad of smaller WECs have advantages of installation on the reef in a harbor. The design also considers the ease to replace or maintain the WECs. The pipe matrix structure of the reef serves as the secure conduit for hoses to bring water ashore. The reef is designed to focus and amplify wave energy using wave refraction and locates the energy directly offshore to harvest. Reduced wave energy on the inshore can be a positive result for shore management for sandy beaches. The technology considers environmental, logistical, cost and human issues for shore protection, mariculture, recreation and energy.
