East Bay - Oyster Reef Installation --- --- Six oyster reef breakwater units will be installed in East Bay along Tyndall Air Force Base. Work will take place Monday through Friday, during daylight hours. The submerged breakwater structures will be installed at least 25 ft seaward of the existing grass meadow. The oyster reef breakwater units will be submerged in water depths of 4 to 5 ft, with the top of each structure 0.56 ft below the current mean low water level. Up to three navigation signs will be installed along the outer limits of the oyster reef sites. On-scene vessels will include a crane barge, a deck barge, a spud barge, work skiffs, the T/Vs STORM CAT and LLOYD W, and the Crew Boat SWAMP ANGEL.
