Overview
Around the globe, thousands of decommissioned naval vessels rot in dockyards, posing a severe environmental liability. One innovative solution is to thoroughly clean these massive ships, strip them of toxins, and deliberately sink them to create thriving artificial reefs. Exploring notable projects like the USS Kittiwake in the Cayman Islands and the USS Vandenberg in the Florida Keys, this episode details how marine life quickly colonizes the steel hulls, while examining the intense regulatory hurdles and public protests facing newer projects like Canada's HMCS Annapolis.
