hmmm your right fish and marine life absolutly hate offshore rigs.... and they would never accept them as artifical reefs.....  |
The offshore marine life LOVE the oil rigs. So much life there, it's one of my favorite places to dive.
The issue, to me, isn't the drilling or the pumping. It's the risk of a spill. The small amount of good an offshore artificial reef does to the local marine populations pales in comparison to the massive amount of damage that can be caused by a spill.
If they could guarantee no spills, I'd cheerfully wave a flag for them while they headed out to begin working. But the fact is, they can't. Anyone who has actually witnessed a spill first hand knows this.
