The barrier against hurricane flooding needs to have the strength enough to hold the disastrous phenomenon back. How would it be, if the barrier is made of steel? That is what the marine scientists are planning to do!
Louisiana officials along with Marine scientists are planning to sink some of Uncle Sam’s cast-off ships along the edge of the water. It will create a steel barrier against hurricane flooding.
The plan is not only environment-friendly – as it will not manufacture new steel giant walls, minimizing waste production in the process – but also highly economic and natural resource-friendly, as the barrier would be made up of recycled aging and obsolete tankers, research vessels and cargo ships.
