As a comparison, I wonder if marine life under even just a few feet of water for their whole lives benefit from that added cosmic ray protection. Yet we don't see fish that live for hundreds of years just because of that, do we?

Interesting point. It's not conclusive, but if you do a quick search for the longest living animal species, the vast majority of them do live (all or part of their life) in water. So maybe?
