Thank you for your response. After investigating the issue further, I have determined that the problem is not with Seablock but instead is caused by "GDIW - Gah! DarnItWater!"

I apologize for any inconvenience my mistake might have caused. I should have tested the issue on pure Sea Block first apparently. I will proceed with addressing it with author of GDIW.
Thanks again for the great work on this project!
