Forty subway cars were sunk in May 2008 on Jackspot Reef thanks to a partnership between the Maryland Artificial Reef Initiative, the Ocean City Reef Foundation, New York City Transit Authority and the town of Ocean City. These recycled materials enhance both the habitat for sea life and value as a recreational fishing and diving destination.
