Before they were moved to dry land in recent weeks, the concrete and metal chunks had spent the last few decades sometimes submerged, sometimes exposed in the water off North Beach as part of a sea wall and steel groin system. They’ve posed quite the challenge to island officials, who have worked over the years to find the funding and permits to remove them.
