Lake Wazee Trash or Treasure

[airdownthere]

If you choose to enter in to ecological discussions here is a quandry...The same people dedicated to "preservation," "protection" etc... by removing several of the "attractions or trash" whichever you prefer to call it have now destroyed the "natural" habitat of the inhabitants who have adapted to and welcomed the structure and the protection that the items had offered from other predators and weather. Someone has left a whole lot of fish homeless and vulnerable until they develop a new routine. With the same mentality we should now organize to have ALL artificial reefs and any other "foreign materials" regardless of its benefit to either wildlife or divers removed and disposed of in an appropriate manner. Don't get me wrong I am in supporrt of removing cans, bottles, and other forms of trash but here in lies the BIG question, at what point does it quit being trash and become part of the natural landscape or habitat? Keep in mind that fish cribs and dive platforms are also foreign material.
