Four of the reef sites are too small to draw at this scale, so they are represented by blue crosses. If you cut the arms off the crosses, that's about how big the reefs would be! Inlets are labeled in black, except for Rockaway, which is actually two inlets and a reef. Moriches is also much smaller than shown here; the proposed expansion is plotted, the current reef would be a dot.
