Starting October 23, 2009, Global Offshore Divers will begin replacement of all sacrificial anodes on the fuel dock float and pilings, the sheet pile wave barrier, and the public dock float and pilings. Workers will be present 7 days a week until Thanksgiving. The 4 person crew will work  mostly from a temporary float, however material staging and other support activity may reduce available parking at the Visitor Information Station lot and  require temporary closures of  the boat launch ramp, both floats, the vehicle ramp, and transient vessel tie up areas of the public dock. The contractor will clear the dock and provide one hour for public vehicle access several times per day. Closures may occur on short notice. The work schedule will be weather dependent and may change often. For up to date information on access and closures please call Jacob Ohlson at 907-697-2602.

Common Murre Egg  

Did You Know?
Common Murres (often seen on or near the Marble Islands) have a unique nesting behavior. They lay a single egg on bare ground or rock ledges. The egg is pear-shaped which prevents it from rolling off the ledge. Each egg has unique speckles and coloration that helps the parents identify their egg.
