I am also dubious about creating a reef in the Lahaina harbor, even a mile away, because it seems far too well-used to be worthwhile as a dive site. On the other hand, anything that increases nature's bounty in paradise is for the good. Maybe it all comes down to dollars; if there were no funds to preserve it, maybe it had to go.
