That's the first I've heard of something like this. What's the purpose of dropping specifically-shaped steel into the ocean?

Oh, that's so that the drop-shippers can increase their throughput.

IIRC, it gives coral a place to grow.

As someone else said, it helps coral reefs grow.

And I meant to say that it’s good for fishing, not shipping. My bad.
