Jack up in coral reef area

Hi everyone,

I've one enquiry. Anyone here knows of issues related to bringing in a jackup rig for drilling operation in an area with water depth 10-15m only and covered with coral reef? Because I've heard that normal jack-up rigs have a draft of about 25 ft. and would require a water depth of about 30ft. for safety.

Appreciate your opinion/ comment. TQ
