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.

My cousin is an oysterman in VA.
The state gives them free land to harvest big triploid (hope I’m saying that right) oysters.
They hand them a sack the size of a softball with about 700,000 seeds.
The have tk build these intricate frames with running water going over them for weeks.
The they burlap them and put them in cages.
Delicious oysters. Great salinity in the Lynnhaven Bay.
I wish NC would use the same program.
The triploids don’t reproduce. So they do it all over again every year.
His worst problem is boaters that steal them. Now they are stealing his cell cams too.
