Here’s the Scoop:

The iconic 4 Pier Boat Launch is a decommissioned oil rig that once worked the Gulf waters off the coast of Port Arthur, Texas.

Abandoned oil rigs can cause problems if not properly removed, but their underwater structures often support coral, fish, and other marine life. Since 1984, when Congress passed the National Fishing Enhancement Act, many have been converted into artificial reefs.
