Underwater logging?

How does rural, underwater logging relate to urban ecology? Welllllllll, it just so happens that Boston and many others cities have a loooooooonnnnnng thirst, which means that many cities' reservoirs are located far away in rural areas that were evacuated, dammed and flooded. Some of these areas were not harvested and several acres of intact forest remain preserved underwater. In some cases, the timber is worth quite a bit. A new piece of equipment, the Sawfish, now provides access.

For cities and rural communities in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, this could be a huge deal. However, have the trees become artificial fish and invertebrate habitat and if so, will sport fishermen and women have something to say about it?

Not sure if the Quabbin in western Massachusetts holds much underwater timber as much of that area was either deforested or secondary forest during its construction. It is a possibility, though (via SAF).
