My only guess is artificial reefs. I don't know why they would show up so prominently though, so this probably is an incorrect guess.

This thread here suggests some kind of barrier. There's the close up (zoom out if no image appears) on google maps that looks similar.

The text in my Google toolbar window reads "Bayou Breakwater ZigZag," which would make an awesome name for a Cajun dance band, no?
