ILLUSTRATION: Staff photo by STEVE EARLEY

Schools of bluefish and sea turtles are being cast into the new

storm protection seawall being built along the Oceanfront from Rudee

Inlet to 58th Street. The seawall will take about three years to

complete. Allen Wilson, an employee of S.B. Ballard Inc., works on a

portion of the wall near 5th Street.
