If they are worried about the damage done to the natural reefs located near their failed artificial one, they could try calling for volunteer scuba divers. Being a diver myself, I would find it interesting and fun to help remove the tires. Perhaps if the state provides the extra training that might be involved, volunteers would be willing to in the clean up efforts.

I’m not sure how long it takes for a reef to develop but how could they let this failed reef go on this long? If the tires were destroying the ocean floor over this long a period of time, wouldn’t have someone noticed it sooner? Especially, with the amount of devastation that has been inflicted? Action needs to be taken to prevent further damages. Cleaning up this problem caused by the humans seems to be such a low priority given the amount of funding issued. If the military can’t provide the help needed, then turning to alternate resources needs to be considered.
