It's probably very positive, actually. Provided you don't do something stupid like make them out of loose tires, structures in the ocean form an anchor around which ecosystems develop which wouldn't exist otherwise. Not to mention the effects on the ocean of rising temperatures, CO2 and deoxygenated dead zones are awful.
- coredog64 3y agoIn the Pacific (at least) there’s the concept of a “fish aggregating device” (FAD). Fishing boats build and deploy smallish structures that create a local environment that eventually results in the production of commercially valuable fish. Usually it’s just logs, rope, and such. Apart from the energy, an offshore wind farm would be a great sanctuary for fish. If you need to visit regularly for maintenance, bringing along a few extra FADs and the occasional marine biologist isn’t going to break the bank.
