    Hi Everyone,

    I just read this article about artificial reef balls made out of concrete that help restore underwater habitats. Over 500,000 have been laid worldwide.

    It's interesting to see that these reef balls are now being used as funerary memorials for cremated remains. I'm not so sure how I feel about this but I thought you guys might appreciate the article.

    Here's the CNN linK:
