Who would think that tires could replicate a coral reef?. "

You have to realize that productivity goes way up if there is some sort of structure that sessile animals and plants can land on. It doesn't have to be coral. Rocks, cars, ships, no doubt airplanes can do just fine. In the Gulf, the place to fish is off one of the rigs.

So they ran an experiment with tires, and they seemed to work.

So apparently, "sessile animals and plants" ultimately reject a man made structure/reef. Frankly, I don't blame them.

This might have something to do with it:

"Some scientists also believe the rubber leaches toxins."
