which prohibited the destruction of life by the public. Rincon demonstrates 

 the potential that an offshore structure can have in establishing biological 

 communities with diverse and sometimes rare forms of life. Such a structure 

 can be used to study the various marine forms and to provide "seeding" 

 ground for the distribution of these forms to adjacent areas. The need 

 of such structures is basic to the conservation of this segment of our 

 marine resources.
