Take a look at the BBC's story on how an artificial reef is being created out of old red subway cars. As they said in the godfather "he sleeps with the fishes."" Note that it's more for economic reasons than concern for the poor ocean critters.

    Oh, sure, instead of paying a dealer to safely scrap the cars, let's just dump them in the ocean instead! Problem solved!

    The for-art bit can be solved by transporting an artist out to the dump site, and having it defecate into the water over the submerged cars, thus confirming the artist's view that it's not art unless it challenges your beliefs and includes feces.
