OK Just Talked to HUGH CARBERRY--it is in Brielle at fisherman's wharf take your pics -As stated before --Hugh told me they need the perfect day to do it--as for the weight--and will be at the tow boat facility the day before--He also told me the man that made the Sculpture has already raised 90 thousand dollars for our reef program  t^

Hope this answers the questions..

Any idea how they deploy this thing?

Gotta be heavy as all hell but the edges must be fragile as it is concrete.

Hopper barge? Crane?  They let it free fall to the bottom?

Just wondering how they plan on makiing it land right side up and in one piece.
