This ship is probably flooded and sunk by this point. But it is a great example of many of the challenges we face in coastal and marine management: non-native species dispersal, international flags of convenience, ship breakers, the vagaries of the ocean, surface currents, etc. Oh, and it has a twitter account with almost 3,000 followers (Lyubov Orlova).
