Fringe Reef Arch

The Fringe Reef Arch was one of the first nonessential structures built in Talitha Harbor. The bridge is over 800 sols old and built from stone that came from Anunitum’s extinct volcano. It spans onto a small island at one end of the Alresha sea.
The island is a protected area with some native arthropods and plants, most of them carried by wind or other means from Anunitum.
The bridge is a giant arch and wide enough for four adults to walk across. They designed it with wheelchair users in mind, and the incline is gentle enough for the motorized chairs.
The land on the other side is mostly untouched, and there are no trails. It is small enough that one would find it difficult to get truly lost. All small islands with a truly unique biome are closed to the public. The small island near Anunitum matches the biome of the larger land and is considered part of it, making it open to the public.
On calmer days, the water in the sea is clear enough that one can stand on the bridge and see the sea life below.

Purpose / Function

They built the bridge to provide a recreational location. There is a gap in the Anunitum mountain range that provides a drivable path to the Alresha Sea. It became a popular destination for those who wanted to get away from the city. Some would swim out to the island. The bridge provided a way for those who couldn’t make the swim to visit the island, or see if they can spot any sea life from the bridge.
