Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Interesting. Pretty cool that had surfaces act as islands to corals and tube worms even at the bottom of the ocean. Silver lining to polution I guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Don't forget that the zinc-based paint may be toxic to soft corals... hence why they may not be growing on the container. It's not all win-win with this, though it is interesting to see it has hardly corroded because of the freezing temperatures and low oxygen.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Eventually you'd think the zinc based paints will be covered up or just leach into the ocean allowing the sponges and other soft corals to colonize it. I was kinda hoping the ROV would open up the container in the video and see all the stuff pour out. The mystery is killing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
