Ocean artificial reef bigger than Central Park holds subway cars and tanks
Original: It's bigger than Central Park, is 24 metres down in the ocean – and contains hundreds of subway cars – and a few tanks
A vast artificial reef lying 24 metres below the ocean surface is reported to be larger than New York's Central Park and contains hundreds of decommissioned subway cars along with a number of military tanks. The structures were sunk on the seabed to create habitat for marine life, turning discarded vehicles into a home for fish and other sea creatures.
Why now: The striking scale and unusual contents of this man-made underwater reef are drawing fresh attention to artificial reef projects.
