Italian term or phrase: molo foraneo a scogliera
Hello, not sure how to best translate this... Any suggestions much appreciated.
The context:

Il porto di Scoglitti è protetto dal molo foraneo nord, a scogliera, orientato per ovest (attualmente in corso di completamento) e dal molo foraneo sud a scogliera anch'esso con direzione W-NW. Nel suo interno c'è una darsena protetta da due moli: quello di ponente, in parte banchinato, di circa 210 m e quello a sud di quest'ultimo, orientato per WNW di 115 m. Pericoli: bassi fondali (1,80 m) all'imboccatura della darsena.

scogliera might mean rocky. I'm less certain about this word in this context
