Abandon Ship !!



Sometimes officials intentionally sink ships. You may be wondering why on earth would they do something so out of the ordinary. I'm guessing that they have their own reasons. I think that it is because they want to create an artificial reef, a place where sea creatures can live. Also, I think that they want a new thing for divers to be excited about. Usually, divers go to the natural coral reefs. When divers do this, it causes harm to the coral ecosystem. By the officials making a artificial reef, it will draw attention away from the natural coral reefs, helping the environment stay healthy and out of harms way. Some of the artificial corals weren't sunken intentionally. A couple of them were actually ship wrecks. One of the oldest ones was found and searched. Inside the ship, modern treasure hunters found tons of riches. As you can see, it's not only about loving the earth and caring for the ecosystem. Anything that they do must have to have something to do with money. At least this is what I think.
