To get these mason blocks sunk in the water took hundreds of people - volunteers who walked all over some wildflowers to get to this beach area. The wildflower shown below is called Birdfoot Trefoil or Eggs and Bacon (Lotus corniculatus). It looks like a yellow pea flower and has red stripes on it - no relation to the large Lotus flower. According to online sources the only place this Birdfoot Trefoil wildflower is found along the entire Gulf Coast states is in Mobile and Baldwin County. 100-1000 partners did not care where they made their work trail. Great project eh? Destroy the State beach for swimmers and destroy the rare beach vegetation.
There is a 100-1000 Restore Coastal Alabama Project which is allegedly restoring Coastal Alabama. What does this group do? At Pelican Point they put mason blocks in the water along one of the few state beaches there are on the Eastern Shore. Won't be any swimming at this beach any more. Restore the Coast? I don't believe Mason Blocks were ever part of the natural coast. This is someone's pet project.
