Please read the Navigation study as provided by Bucjhart Horn as provided to Mira Bay

I suggest everyone reads this carefully

especially pages 11 and 12 of 12,  it sums up everything that has been pointed out for the past few weeks of the hazards rip-rap creates.

It discusses

• placing of navigation aides is strongly suggested
• placing a vessel in such close proximity of  rip-rap may strike it casuing damage
• dredging  may threaten the structural integrity of the bulkhead

This statement is also in the report:

Option 1 bulkhead rehabilitation alternative that involves placement of rip rap along the bulkhead wall is constructed. It is likened to driving a car in proximity to a guardrail; if you keep driving towards the guardrail the car will eventually strike the rail causing damage to the car
