    A large-diameter pipeline or dredge discharge pipe is floating on the surface of a coastal waterway, secured with orange straps or clamps at regular intervals. A tugboat is visible in the mid-ground, likely towing or positioning the floating pipe string. The scene appears to be a marine construction or beach nourishment/dredging operation conducted in calm, sunny conditions.

The EPB is a 1-mile custom designed barrier made of high density polyethylene pipe, 5-foot square mesh debris netting and ocean boom coupled to pilings and able to rise and fall with tidal action. The EPB is a part of a multi-layer environmental protection system. St. Simons Sound incident photo.
