Another Artificial Reef Gone Awry
- "A World War II-era ship purposely sunk in the Gulf of Mexico to create an artificial reef has tipped onto its side, blocking access... for fish and divers. ...The sinking capped years of problems, including an unplanned sinking near Beaumont and a $600,000 cleanup of hazardous chemicals. ...The state [of Texas] has spent about $4 million on the sinking." - excerpt from this Star-Telegram article.
