Chain Moorings Damage Sea Bed

Show below are boats using Elastic Moorings. Note the healthy sea bed directly below elastic-moored boats.
Mouseover to view chain mooring damage to Eel Grass on the sea bed, also known as "slash circles" or "slash zones".

Chain Mooring Slash Circle Demo

J Wilbur Marine thimbles, shackles, swivels and assemblies are carbon-fiber wrapped around galvanized steel to resist wear and corrosion. Originally designed for military use, our adhered carbon fiber wrap endures high salinity and even extreme temperatures, high or low, and costs less than brittle stainless steel.

Eliminate Seabed Damage

Chain moorings rake the sea bed, forming "crop circles" (below)

Elastic Moorings float above the sea bed, leaving eel grass and marine life unaffected.

Eelgrass Improves Water Quality

Eelgrass meadows can be a natural carbon sink, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in sediments, even more than rain forests, while improving water quality and reducing coastal shoreline erosion. This is called "Blue Carbon".
