The Breakwaters are now in place!
Structures designed by Coastal Environments Inc, built by Georgestone Technical School and Escambia County Road Prison, placed by Coastal Reef builders, managed by Ecological Consulting Services Inc and propelled by volunteers and residents are now being set in place and not too early either. Deadman’s Island had faced even more erosion just this past month. Partial structures are in place and has slowed down the current that has been eating away at the north end of Deadman’s Island. Next summer a final structures will be placed to protect the west end. This reef will not only add protection to Deadman’s Island but provide great fishing and snorkeling for the general public. Thank you to all our partners and supporters.
