Sharon building walls out into the sea

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4104774.stm



Israel to build Gaza sea barrier

According to the Jerusalem Post, the structure will stretch 950m (yards) from the beach into the Mediterranean.

Israeli army officials said the measure would compensate for Israel's loss of surveillance once it pulls out of the Gaza Strip later this year.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the sea barrier's first 150m will consist of a concrete wall with its foundations buried in the sea bed.

A submerged 1.8m-deep (6ft) floating fence will stretch out for further 800m.

"It is (a system) to... prevent infiltrations of terrorists via the sea," Reuters quoted an anonymous Israeli security source as saying.

the sea has a way of paying back after being messed with.

are environmentalists on to this? or has Israel turned anti-science too?
