Navy sinks old concrete carriers in the Gulf of Mexico already, for this exact reason (artificial reef). i remember this happening at least 20+ years ago... it's not as new novel idea. Florida also uses shell material as aggregate in concrete already.

How does a artificial reef plan hold up to ocean accidifcation? Can you hold it back by adding base material that keeps the waters permanent habitable for shell-organisms?
