This isn't new, we've known the tire reef was a disaster for almost a decade. The difference between tire reefs and successful artificial reefs are how they are affected by the tides. The tires are picked up and tumble in heavy waves, while ships and other massive projects like them stay stable. The tires when they tumble kill the sensitive coral, and can not provide a stable environment for them.
