The roundup covers the century-old Tabbara family falafel shop, the SS United States reef project, and a Detroit nonprofit’s effort to sell 1 million veteran dog tags, organizers said.
- On Wednesday, officials on Florida's Panhandle coast scuttled the SS United States about 25 miles southwest of Destin, creating an artificial reef on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.
- The $13.5 million project transforms the vessel into the world's largest artificial reef, providing habitat for tuna, marlin, and swordfish while preventing the ship from becoming scrap metal.
- Once a 990-foot liner that set a speed record on its first voyage in 1952, the SS United States will now attract divers and fishing enthusiasts to the site.
- Situated between Panama City and Pensacola, the reef preserves a technological marvel from obsolescence while supporting ecological growth and recreational activity in the Gulf of Mexico.
- Future management will maintain the site's integrity for tourism, positioning Florida as a premier destination for underwater exploration and marine conservation within the Gulf of Mexico region.
