But as artificial-reef initiatives grow to include more coastal regions and a wider【C1】______of aged infrastructure(基础设施), some scientists worry that the commercial interests of fishing, diving and trash【C2】______are driving efforts that should be environmental. 【C3】______that’s the case, they warn. 【C4】______reefs may ultimately give way to an underwater junkyard.

"In a lot of cases, that question has been answered, " says Bohnsack. "But supporters of reefing aren’t too happy with the answer, so they【C10】______it. " Research shows that artificial reefs only【C11】______fish populations when habitat is the limiting factor. In many cases. it isn’t.

The tires came【C17】______from one another during a rash of【C18】______storms. Since then, they have been【C19】______around the ocean floor, destroying natural reefs, polluting the water and occasionally washing【C20】______on shore.
