Largest artificial reef threatened by spill

Oil spill threatens world's largest artificial reef - CNN.com

The divers say the marine life looked amazing. There were all types of tropical fish on the wreck, as well as the resident octopus, a lot of barracudas, and a sea turtle.

Even better news: there were no signs of oil.


Hammock is encouraged by the news, but repeated the words of so many business owners on the Gulf Coast.



"This oil will be devastating to us," he said. "If this oil shows up here it will definitely shut down a big industry in the panhandle."
