Why Were 2 Million Tires Dumped in the Ocean?
A company in the United States dumped 2 million car tires into the ocean with the intention of providing a habitat for fish to build nests. However, the well-intentioned idea ended in disaster. The tires, which were supposed to serve as homes for fish, disintegrated under the impact of the waves, harming all marine life and turning the ocean floor into a garbage dump. When it was realized that the project was misguided, a decision was made to clean up the tires, but only 72,000 of the 2 million tires could be removed.
