Materials recycled from old Tappan Zee Bridge will be used for artificial reefs

The video discusses the disposal of 43,200 cubic yards of the old Tappan Zee Bridge into coastal waters off Long Island. The project involves cleaning and recycling materials to build artificial reefs at six locations on Long Island's North Shore. These reefs aim to mimic natural environments, promoting the regrowth of finfish, shellfish, and seagrass.

What is the total volume of the old Tappan Zee Bridge that will be dumped into coastal waters?

What types of marine life are mentioned as benefiting from the artificial reefs?
