Should Offshore Oil Rigs Be Turned into Artificial Reefs?

"Milton Love, a biologist at the Marine Science Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara, explained that it was kind of bubbling up out of the seafloor."
"Since then, 34 other oil platforms have been installed along the coast, and more than 12,000 have been installed around the world."
"Today 13 of California's 27 remaining offshore platforms are what's known as shut-in, or no longer producing oil."
