Florida starts to raise artificial reefs

in a perfect example of "Nice Try but BAD results" Florida dumped hundreds of thousands of used tires off the coast in an attempt to build artificial coral reefs.

In the years since (40+) the tires have killed surrounding reefs and marine life.

It could take years to fix, so if you like to dive and want to get paid for it...I bet there is a job there for you...for quite a long time.

In a time of global warming and environmental destruction, how can we know what impact of some of the attempts to alter the environment in a positive way...simply, we just don't know what we are doing beyond the simple fact...we ARE having an impact.
