Are ships natural enviroment for fish and other marine organisms?

Now we have seen video footage of occupation of the areas there. But one needs to calculate all trade-offs before one can conclude whether downing ships helps improve the environment. I have not read a scientific paper that objectively tries to determine this with all costs and counter-costs.

There's hundreds of years (if not thousands) of shipwrecks, from which we can interpret their effect on the underwater environment.

Unless there are pollutants involved, the wreck is generally a net positive for biodiversity and provides an attractive area for marine life.
