A historic ocean liner becomes a calibrated artificial reef off Florida

A historic ocean liner is about to become a calibrated artificial reef. The SS United States will be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida this November, creating the world's largest artificial reef. This is a purposeful transformation, turning steel into habitat. The project offers a real-time, measurable intervention for marine life. For more on how ocean conditions shape coastal ecosystems, see our coverage of South Florida's king tides.
