I don't see a 500 ft pier any different than the fish magnet arguments people used about wind farms or oil rigs. Pilings will attract forage, forage will attract predators, night lights will attract baitfish and baitfish will attract predators. The question is how far out will the pier go into the ocean. Will it extend 100 ft or 450 ft. If it's out as far as the old pier, it'll be fine. The surrounding contour of the old pier was all sand, no structure and fishing was incredible.
