I almost think that you could use them for restoration work as long as you allowed for the crabs/fish to get out. Eventually they would rust out and all you are left with is a patch of vegetation = new land I don't know probably too easy and simple
DING DING DING! Give the man a cigar! that is what is being done w/ the crab traps from the round ups .the flatten them and stack on banks and drive rebar to hold them in place . grass grows up thru them and then silt will catch and form new land.
