The world’s longest artificial reef is under construction off the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The Kan-Kanán project will be 1.9 kilometers (1.18 miles) long upon completion and will help protect the area’s fragile coastal environment and restore valuable habitat for marine life. Once completed, it will be longer than the Brooklyn Bridge and support an estimated 13,000 species.
