The blades are freely-rotating steel plates with a sawtooth edge, designed to prevent human smugglers from bypassing the buoys: https://www.borderreport.com/immigration/border-crime/buoys-for-border-barrier-arrive-at-rio-grande-dps-says/ https://www.texastribune.org/2023/06/08/rio-grande-buoys-greg-abbott/
