In this paper the scattered progressive waves are determined due to progressive waves incident normally on certain types of partially immersed and completely submerged vertical porous barriers in water of infinite depth. The forms are approximate only, and are obtained using perturbation theory for nearly hard or soft barriers having high and low porosities respectively. The results for arbitrary porosity are difficult to obtain, in contrast to the well known hard limit of impermeable barriers.
