The marina runs Ice Eaters, a sort of underwater fan, to move warmer bottom water up to the surface and break up the ice, which protects both the boats and the pier pilings from the ice.

I wonder if the dock gets damaged for being in this sort of cold condition. <a href="http://www.dockaccents.com/floating-docks.htm" rel="nofollow"> http://www.dockaccents.com/floating-docks.htm</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848935934548608971noreply@blogger.com
