Florida County Signs Deal to Create World's Largest Artificial Reef with SS United States
Oct 2, 2024, 01:22 AM
A Florida county has signed a tentative deal to purchase the SS United States and transform it into the world's largest artificial reef. The contract, approved on Tuesday, is contingent upon the resolution of court-imposed mediation after a judge ordered the SS United States to leave Philadelphia. The project aims to create an artificial reef off Florida’s Gulf Coast, which could offer new climate solutions.
