Actually, a few of us did exactly that one day when I had lived in the area. About ten of us swam and kayaked out and collected a bunch of rocks from the shoal and piled them up to form a very neat rock marker. It made what was once an area that was typically 1' or less under the surface and brought it visibly above the surface by about 2' so that anybody coming close would obviously see and thereby avoid it. We all swam back feeling like we had accomplished something worth doing.

No sooner had we had returned to the dock to admire our work when see saw the Marine Patrol driving slowly around it and then go to a nearby to speak with its owner. By the next day it was gone.
