First area is in Bahrain- Saudi Arabia, off the coast. A series of underwater 'arrows' that seem to be aligned to true North. All are pointing in the same direction and many are located a good distance from the shoreline on the adjacent sand bars. Some of the 'arrow' features seem to be buried by sand.
This first download includes 24 placemarks of the 'arrows' and a few linear features.
Does anyone know what these underwater features could be?

Linear features in Lake Okeechobee. I am stumped by this long linear feature and the adjacent linear features.
Any ideas?

If you extend the line north, it appears to go between the shore and an island. Although most have been destroyed, Florida is covered with the remnants of ancient canals. This may have been one that eventually flooded into a lake as sea level rose.

I wonder who could be responsible for those canals, if they are canals?
I saw what you are referring to the first time I looked at this site. I thought it could be modern, but I'm not sure after hearing about a story by Frank Hudson about possible ruins under Lake Okeechobee. I will try to buy that book and post some info on the blog. Thanks for your input Rob!

Hi, SatAm,
I believe these are fish traps, similar to the ones shown below.
See this post for a discussion on similar structures in Korea.
Cheers
Frank

Thanks for the reply. Would they have created the fish traps so far offshore? In other words are they modern or potentially old since some of them seem to be so far offshore?

Archaeologists Unearth 1,700 Year-Old Canal System Near Lake Okeechobee (Florida)
Sun- Sentinel ^ | 6-6-2002 | Rhonda Miller
ORTONA – Archaeologists on Thursday said they have uncovered a sophisticated 1,700 year-old canal system and a huge pond dug by ancient Indians near this tiny town, located west of Lake Okeechobee.
The canal site is so important that it could rival the discovery four years ago of the mysterious Miami Circle ruins near downtown Miami, one expert said.

Parallel features off the coast of NC. A distinct edge can be seen of what looks like a submerged, Carolina bay. The area within this 'bay feature' contains parallel features that seem to be equidistance apart.
Anyone know what could cause such features?

The 'parallel feature' line is probably the flotsam and jetsam line that is always somewhere offshore. This is where the coastal currents and the open ocean currents meet, where the green (or brown) water meets the blue as the fishermen say. This is where all of the trash that empties into the ocean, and is thrown or lost overboard meet and mingle with the seaweed and is a bonafide fish magnet.
