Based on the best scientific information available, artificial reefs in waters covered under this chapter shall be sited and constructed, and subsequently monitored and managed in a manner which will—
(1) enhance fishery resources to the maximum extent practicable;
(2) facilitate access and utilization by United States recreational and commercial fishermen;
(3) minimize conflicts among competing uses of waters covered under this chapter and the resources in such waters;
(4) minimize environmental risks and risks to personal health and property; and
(5) be consistent with generally accepted principles of international law and shall not create any unreasonable obstruction to navigation.
