NJ Artificial Reef Project Using Subway Cars Is a Failure

"A program that used retired subway cars to create artificial reefs is being scrapped. ...officials have ended the program because the stainless steel cars are deteriorating too quickly. ...a survey of 48 cars on the Atlantic City reef found only two remained intact after seven months in the water. It was estimated they would last 30 years." - excerpt from this NY1 News article.
