One thousand tons of concrete pipe donated by Hanson Pipe Company was added to this site in 2001. In 2006, 2000 tons of concrete block, donated by Bayshore Concrete Products, Inc., was added. The deployments were funded by the Saltwater Fishing License revenue.

 

A yellow VMRC buoy designated “C” marks this fish haven.

 

Tires in Concrete (TICs) and Tetrahedrons have also been added to the site.
