Take the A Train to Far, Far Reefaway... In 2001 the MTA retired its fleet of Redbird subway cars. It gave the trains to states on the Atlantic coast to serve as artificial reefs for fish. The program has been successful in supporting the web of undersea life and attracts game fish, which in turn draws sport fishermen and scuba divers to the reefs. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia have reefed about 1,000 subway cars in all from the MTA. Come hear Bob Martore, the Artificial Reef Manager from South Carolinas Department of Natural Resources, explain how subway cars help provide homes for marine life. The talk, sponsored by NYC H2O, will be held this Friday from 7 pm to 8:30 pmin room 714 of Hunter College West. Entrance is at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. Tickets are free but please RSVP. youtube/watch?v=M2ONNY0Gqic&feature=youtu.be
