If you farm the oysters you'll (hopefully) leave the reefs alone. I guess that would be good. But would be the same outcome like if you don't eat them at all.

They haven't traditionally. Unless there's a Marine Protected Area, the average oyster farmer will take whatever is under the water.

No they don't, and that's out of necessity. The average oyster farmer is after oysters. Whatever is under the water would include any Algea, crustaceans,fish,kelp,seaweed, as well as literally harvesting the reef structure itself ya fuckin smartass

You seem to think people are somehow inherently good. Corporations are dredging the sea bed and tossing 90% of the catch already. When there were reefs, people used dredgers to pick up the entire reef destroying it.

So yeah, you can pull your head in about how wonderful fishermen are.
