    By all accounts that I've seen they seem to be pretty big successes in terms of increasing biodiversity. In areas that are lacking hard substrates, the wrecks offer places for corals to settle that are otherwise lacking. Once the corals and other sessile invertebrates get established it doesn't take long for fish and other animals to move in. As an added benefit they are often located in no fishing zones and help stop nets from being hauled through the area by destroying them should they be hauled over the wreck.
