Historically, the common tern population in Frenchman’s Bay thrived, but as recently as the 1970’s, it began decreasing due to the loss of suitable habitat. As a result, in 1999, two tern reef rafts were installed, aimed at providing nesting habitat. In this photo the raft is being cleaned and repaired in anticipation of the returning terns.
How interesting, Andy. Now if I see the rafts I will know what they are for.
