On June 19 of this year, 3 concrete statues of hammerhead sharks were dropped into about 10 feet of water near the Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach, FL. The goal of the 1500 pound shark figures is to attract divers and snorkelers to the area. The underwater exibit was created and paid for by artist Tom McDonald.
