Redbird Reef

The Redbird Reef is an artificial reef in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Slaughter Beach, Delaware.

The reef was created from discarded subway cars the New York Metro, which, although contaminated with asbestos ( a risk which is considered to be low ), but be gutted and sunk without windows. The first car went into the water in 2001; now there are more than 714, added 86 decommissioned tanks, and 8 tractors ( ships) and other vehicles.

Initial criticism from environmentalists could be eliminated as far as possible. The good development of the reef has made it profitable for both divers interesting as well as for fishing.
