Portuguese term or phrase: "guias-corrente"
As obras artificiais ou rígidas buscam restringir a movimentação dos sedimentos, contendo-os na praia em erosão. As obras “rígidas” podem ser perpendiculares ou quase à linha de costa (como espigões, guias-corrente e molhes), em áreas com transporte litorâneo predominante, e quando este é pouco significativo, as obras devem ser dimensionadas de forma paralela à costa (quebra-mar e revestimentos como muros ou paredões), para conter o efeito das ondas ou fixar a posição da linha de costa.
