The area affected seems to be too large to be related solely to the construction of the Marina Coastal Expressway. The MCE actually loops almost immediately back onto land after briefly skimming the sea next to the Marina Barrage.
Could this be the first signs of a 'Long Island' reclamation in front of the East Coast?
