The Bahia Tourism Secretariat (Setur-BA) opened, this Tuesday (28), a bid to hire a company specialized in controlled wrecking. The aim is to conduct environmental studies and sink two ships, the ferry boat Juracy Magalhães and the hull of the sweeper ship Anhatomirim, in the Bay of All Saints.

The head of Setur-BA, Maurício Bacelar, explained that the contracted company will be responsible for removing all pollutant parts and materials from the ships and identifying the best location for the sinking. This will ensure that there are no risks to the environment. According to Bacelar, the operation will allow for greater exploration of the tourism potential of the Bay of All Saints for diving tourism, a segment that has been growing worldwide.

In this way, the artificial reefs formed by the sinking will serve as attractions for divers and researchers. After the operation, the shipwrecks will support marine life within a year. Setur-BA reported that the bid will be rigorous in selecting a qualified company that can guarantee the environmental license for the sinking of the ships safely in the Bay of All Saints.
