"Artificial reefs" are a fantasy. Dumping big hunks of garbage on the sea
bed does not work. It's just a phony political excuse to make throwing
something away sound charitable, like giving your busted junk to Goodwill.


correct. a "reef" has nothing to do with there being no fish left because
commercial fishers haul mile line nets across the oceans.

In Florida they are paying many times the original "savings" picking up
tires that were dumped offshore to supposedly be an "artificial reef", but
wound up just being garbage. I remember how holy this was all supposed to
be during the "ecology" craze of the 1970s.


Well, everything about florida is pretty wrong anyways.
