The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources dropped over 40 old New York City subway cars into the ocean Saturday morning.
These old cars will now be known as an artificial reef where DNR officials say marine life will thrive.
They also say they hope the artificial reef will help with the economy and tourism and that artificial reefs are great for fishing.
The artificial reef is named the Bill Perry, Jr. Artificial Reef in honor of this former Grand Strand resident who was killed in a car accident nearly 20 years ago.
