Best Answer

Barnacles can grow on oil platforms. The platforms can be beneficial to sea life, as long as there is no oil spill. Once there is an oil spill, then the harm greatly outweighs any benefit.

Most oil rig platforms today do not float. The platform is usually positioned atop several pillars that extend to the bottom of the sea bed on which they are located.
