I wonder at the arrogance and stupidity of these people. They want to save the fish but have no concern for the fishermen. A boulder such as these can capsize a trawler in minutes and kill the crew on board. If that were to happen would the "celebs" named on the rocks care? Probably not.
Industrial fishing ships are destroying this special habitat. Greenpeace is protecting it.

If they drop these massive boulders in the shallower parts of the choke point of the Straits then there's a good chance that they could see the bottom being ripped out of a fully-laden tanker or a container ship. They are effectively reducing the charted depth without informing the HO so that notices and chart updates can be issued and are wilfully hazarding navigation. Why is the vessel not being ordered to port and the captain hauled into court, jaiuled and stripped of his master's ticket thus ending his career? A message needs to be sent: you command a vessel and the charterer's/owners bods break the law and you allow it then you are paying for it, captain.
Besides, in my experience of dealing with their "fleet" the offshore worksite is pollution-free until the Rainbow ****** turns up. Then the water is bright with the trails of leaked oil products and the air thick with smuts from their stack.
Vlad had the right idea when they interfered with one of his drillships: forcibly detain them, take them into the nearest Russian port and then stick them in the dock before jailing the f
uckers for a long time.
Although at the time my then captain, a Ukrainian ex-Black Sea Fleet driver, expressed a determination to be more direct and efficient: "Huh. If those idiots hang their tent from my anchor then the order is, 'Bo'sun! Make ready to drop anchor!'"
