Rocks Used to Protect the Seawall of Castillo de San Marcos
These stones are an anthropogenic breakwater that is intended to protect the coquina seawall. Over time, the water between the rocks will fill with sediment, which will provide an area for plant growth. The fort is a National Monument, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.Galleries:Castillo de San Marcos, Forts and Fortifications, St. Augustine, St. JohnsKeywords:breakwater, castillo de san marcos, fort marion, land management practices, matanzas bay, saint augustine, seawall, st. augustinePhoto Location: St. Augustine, FloridaPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 10/08/2011Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.0166667F Number: 22Original Dimensions: 5541×3668Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 29°53'52.65"N 81°18'43.88"WPicture Number: 25170
