The Port of San Diego and the City of Coronado opened the 3.7 acre natural habitat Grand Caribe Shoreline Park and unveiled ""Sheltering Wings"", a full-size sculpture of two Blue Herons by Christopher Slatoff, on July 14, 1998. The idea of a Blue Heron sculpture originated with Coronado community group members. Slatoff created two Blue Herons as a tribute to the rare birds which can be seen feeding and resting on Grand Caribe Isle. The sculpture symbolizes the idea of protecting the fragile natural environment.
