The intentional placement of statutes and old tires underwater has mimicked natural marine life and created new housing options for a variety of species of fish, algae, invertebrates and crinoids. Much of the ocean floor is too unstable to support a coral reef. However, coral reefs which cover less than 1% of the ocean support 25% of all marine life. Some communities are looking for new ways to support marine life locally through the placement of carefully selected objects on soft, sandy substrates. These “artificial reefs” have had a profound and positive effect on the overall ecosystem. One of many successful examples worldwide is in Tulamben, Bali, where scuba diving tourism stress on a local shipwreck divespot inspired the community to take action to spread out the benefits of diving tourism but decrease the stress on one area.
