    The image shows a before-and-after comparison of a PVC pipe rack structure, photographed first on a surface (likely a boat deck or dock) and then deployed underwater on a sandy/muddy seafloor. The structure appears to be a scientific or aquaculture apparatus with multiple rectangular frames, attachment points, and what appear to be coral or biological sample holders. The underwater image shows the same rack colonized or loaded with brownish biological specimens, suggesting this is a coral or marine organism nursery/restoration rack.

    Metal coupons hang from a PVC pipe rack before being placed on the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by Coast Guard Academy cadets and 24 hours after being submerged in the water.

    On the submerged rack there are already signs of rust and marine growth.
