Tim Woolard, a survey technician with the Norfolk District, Army Corps of Engineers, attempts to wade into the Elizabeth River near downtown Norfolk, Va., to place markers for a new breakwater at the district’s headquarters. The new breakwater will protect a new oyster reef being constructed by the Corps of Engineers in partnership with Seatack Elementary’s fourth grade. The reef is part of the district's and the children's effort to improve the water of not only the Elizabeth River, but the Chesapeake Bay.
