I keep hearing and reading that the pilings at Titlow are scheduled to be removed.... anybody know when that is likely to happen?
I was out there today and got some photos of the pilings in fairly decent viz.....quite pretty to see them in their entirety for a change.

I believe the remove the pilings projects have been put on hold due to budget concerns but I could be wrong.

They should be put on 'hold' permanently and be buried in a deep dark corner of the sea.

Re: Titlow Pilings
Wonderful capture of the beautiful plumose-covered pilings.
And yeah, I heard the piling removals everywhere were put on hold. With budget problems the state has right now, I doubt it will be anytime soon that these are removed.
(YAY!)

I wonder if there's any way we can lobby somebody to keep it that way?nwscubamom wrote:Wonderful capture of the beautiful plumose-covered pilings.

Re: Titlow Pilings
Thanks! Its not often that I've been able to shoot them in their entirety from the bottom to the surface. Creosote is a danger, for sure, but there's certainly an argument that there's plenty of other sites that could be done before this one.nwscubamom wrote:Wonderful capture of the beautiful plumose-covered pilings.
