Protections for those lines?

Perhaps it's going to be a hell lot expensive but can't they build some kind of protection in the no so shallow waters? It's going to be better than to repair them every time.

I want to see you benchpress an oil tanker anchor 10 times with no help.

Maybe a "NO ANCHOR. NO DREDGE" sign would alert ships that there is something under the sea that could be damaged.�

Probably also point out the location for those trying to break it

Here on Long Island there are prominent signs at entrances to the parkways that say "No Trucks - Low Bridges". Yet trucks still drive onto the parkways and smack into the stone bridges. No signs in the water are going to make a bit of differences. Especially with all of the different languages spoken in the Mediterranean region. You would probably have to post in at least a dozen languages with the hope the ship captain's even bother reading it.

They just need a sign that points down with a skull in it.
