I have...(I used to be a PM for diveops on installs, and recoveries such as Ensco64)

I would not castrate all of the procedures in an area with the parameters of towing around a jackdown..this would be handled as a NOTOM and review any procedures for conflicts, perhaps raise applicable MDA's...we could also provide a course for the towed platform that would not conflict with procedures...

There would be a blanket advisory placed over the area, 25nm, with shipping, advised that any vessel over 200' notify Air Services through the typical NOTAM channels for review...

and, of course, part of certification process to use the procedures, is to arm the helos to deal with non-compliance (one of the side benefits of GPS navigation)
