How?? RF can monitor all shipping from satelites. RF ISR long range drones operate at heights out of range of anything UA can fire at them. But they dont even rely on those because RF aviation has unrestricted use of the NW Black Sea airspace. Manpads can only hit slow CAS jets and helicopters within a few kms. Every RF aircraft can fire missiles from outide manpad range.

Danish Navy will be the backstop of Air Defence in south Baltic Sea among RN and USN. Just like Sweden is the harbinger of death from under the sea, surface, and from air, anything that still floats and carries Russian Baltic Sea Navy flag. Finns are helding their blockade position in mouth of Gulf of Finland by sowing the sea with thousands of highly sophisticated mines guarded by Gabriel V batteries in sea and land. Finns can and will shut down all Russian traffic to open Baltic Sea. We have long record of doing that. We OWN the narrows of Gulf of Finland.

Two jackup rigs (self-elevating units) “Tavrida” and “Sivash” were also seized, as well as several auxiliary vessels. As I understand it, it was “Tavrida” and “Sivash” which were raided by the Ukrainian military. Not sure they were really "retaken". EDIT: GUR of Ukraine reports the return of two drilling platforms and two jack-up rigs. A photo of the Ukrainian military from the "Petro Godovanets" platform (renamed by the Russians to "Crimea-2") was shown.

saying "retaken" about some place after they took a picture with 0 proof of permanent presence is just idocy ... otherwise one could have said the same about Shebekino (the village in belgorod where Ukrops penetrated took pictures and fled). There is no permanent presence, they can't use it for economic purposes (can't produce without presence, certainly not with military only) and can't be used as negotiating token since both sides know Ukrops don't control any platform or island. The only thing they managed to do with that op is to milk some PR from Propaganda outlets like this one ... to raise morale. since the Tokmak/Melitopol/Berdyansk plan for the Spring Offensive is not reached and we are in autumn.

But I suspect Ukraine can't exploit the gas until the war is over. If Ukraine reclaims Crimea no new pipelines would be necessary. If the war ends with the platforms in Ukrainian hands, but Russia retains Crimea, new pipelines will be necessary.
