not a fan of destroying any part of an oyster reef


It's oysters, not coral. In La. commercial oyster harvest is done by dragging a dredge across the reef and the reef persists just fine as long as cultch remains. Oyster are very resilient, fast growing, and respond well to disturbance.

Even though I'm from LA and grew up on Lake P, I've been in TX for 17 years now and can say that is not the case at all over here. Entire reefs(big reefs) have been completely wiped out due to oyster fishermen, boats running over them, and hurricanes.
