The article also discusses the fact that sunken vessels are home to a lot of marine life - local fisheries get their catch there, as the wildlife thrives in those locations.
Thus salvaging the steel robs local folk of their income.
- Theodores 9y agoIf you abandon a car it soon becomes home to wildlife but that doesn't make it 'nature enough' to be worthy of a David Attenborough documentary. I think that another way of looking at this story is some 'god' miraculously tidying up the litter that humans have carelessly left at the bottom of the ocean for one reason or another. In this magic universe the mystery tidy-up persons should be thanked for doing such a thorough job, leaving not so much as a bolt behind. It is all so much easier if the human remains part is conveniently ignored.
- Broken_Hippo 9y agoThe entire reason I know sunken ships often wind up as artificial reefs is because of a documentary. So yeah, it really is David Attenborough level of nature. We just frame it differently with this because it involves humans.
