Not sure about BC, but WA Parks Dept. seems to have done a decent job of maintaining their moorings, at least recently. Maybe partly because most are located in relatively protected anchorages, I have never had any concerns using them.
I believe they have all been converted to screw in anchors on the sea bed and using a design that is less harmful to the eelgrass beds.
