how long will it last? and what happens if and when it breaks free?

I think the canyon is too deep for what I have but maybe something in 150-250' deep made from sealed PVC pipes (a series of buoyant rafts with lots of streamers) and anchored to the bottom via poly rope to a pile of cement blocks...maybe 50' below the surface just inside outside the shipping lanes.
I figure in a few months or so after it gets some growth on it, it should attract something.

I figure if it works, more people will do it and eventually there will be so many FADs that draggers will just move on. |

Sandman,
Don't know but that could be a slippery slope. Whether it is surface or subsurface it will become derelect fishing gear if not maintained. Can it be retrievable?
Think of all the BS with the whales geting caught up in fishing gear causing the fishing industry to use breakaway links etc.
If you dig deep enough there are probably some regulations on what it can be made of and where you can put it etc etc.
