Canada's sunken warship becomes thriving reef home to 170 marine species
The HMCS Annapolis, a decommissioned Canadian warship, was deliberately sunk off the coast of British Columbia in 2015 to serve as an artificial reef.

The project highlights how purposefully prepared artificial structures can deliver significant ecological benefits to marine ecosystems.
