Save the Atlantic with the old electric wagon

US scientists have used old electric wagons to create habitat for many fish species when natural coral reefs are increasingly degraded.

>>>Nearly one third of Indonesia's coral reef area has been destroyed

Along the coast from Delaware to South Carolina there will be a network of old subway cars that will be drowned to make 'homes' for millions of fish.

Photographer Stephen Mallon, who directly recorded the activity, said he was shocked to see giant structures thrown into the sea like toys. However, they will serve as a good new home for many fish species.

Daily Mail said the project is called 'Next Stop Atlantic' which will be implemented continuously for three years. The wagon after pushing into the sea will be stacked on the buildings providing apartments for resident fish.

Electric wagons weighing 18 tons will be removed from doors and wheels and placed on barges to be taken to the sea. From the pre-positioned places the wagons will in turn be taken down and anchored firmly.

There were also concerns about environmental pollution, whereas more than 2,500 retired wagons were tested to continue serving very well underwater after 40 years of working on the ground.

Daily Mail said that up to 95% of the ocean floor off the Atlantic Ocean in US waters is just a natural bare sand beach, so this stainless steel artificial reef will quickly be the development environment of oysters and mussels. , crab shrimp . and next will entice grouper, flounder, flagfish, tuna, dolphins . to choose as habitat.

It is expected that this artificial reef will generate an annual income of US $ 200 million for American fishermen.
