Sealink Pusher barge cruises right through our planted bull kelp

I just watched from my window with a sense of shock as Seaspan's Sealink Pusher cruised right through our planted bull kelp beds. This 500'+ barge didn't need to come this close on such a calm evening. Here's a screen capture from approximately 9:02PM on June 10 2013.


We really need to figure out how to mark our work in future so that ships and smaller boats don't continue to destroy the slowly recovering kelp beds.
