Have you asked the Ocean Conservatory for assistance?
"Artificial reefs can cause damage to natural habitats during their construction and can displace naturally occurring species and habitats. They also tend to concentrate fish unnaturally, making them more vulnerable to overfishing. In some cases, they introduce toxins and other pollutants into the ocean.
We typically oppose the creation of new artificial reefs that are used solely for fishing or tourism purposes. In some cases we support the removal of existing artificial reefs. However, we do not support their removal if an ecosystem is dependent upon their existence."
They seem to say first do no harm and once it is built it will be very hard to undo.
