The damage done is directly related to the type of bottom and the depth. Sandy shallow bottoms recover after one good storm, deeper sandy bottoms recover more slowly, but they recover to a point where no one could tell that the doors were ever there. Hard gravel bottoms recover the slowest. Mud bottoms also recover slowly unless there is a great deal of tide or current. I've seen pitcures of the bottom in the open and closed areas of George's Bank ( gravel bottom) and the difference was amazing!
