This is going to be a killer photo project for a scuba-certified photographer.

From Reuters:

After four decades carrying
millions of New Yorkers, 44 of the city’s subway cars are now home to
millions of fish.


The
worn-out cars were dumped on Friday into the Atlantic Ocean, 21 miles
off the Maryland coast, to create an artificial reef, designed to
attract fish for the state’s lucrative sport-fishing industry.

“These
reefs provide quality habitat for marine life off our coast which
benefits not only the environment but also local businesses,” said
Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan.

I think this may be a job for Mr. Hetherington (who shot the portraits on this Wired job):

Or maybe Thomas Bangsted, my new favorite find from NYPF.
