That’s the thing, no one knows yet if they are in tact or their has been a lot of spillage into the sea. All coverage of this began last week when the robot sub was sent down to photograph the wreck.

It’s actually been getting a lot of coverage on the UK news over the past week or so, as you would expect. My understanding was that it came to light because the Italian government announced the discovery of a wrecked ship with toxic cargo and asked the rest of the EU for help in the clean-up effort.

One a hopeful note, they might stop over-fishing in the Mediterranean as a result. They are currently fishing species like bluefin tuna at about 20 times the sustainable rate. The waters around Italy are probably badly contaminated now and that is a tragedy. I am not downplaying that in the slightest. But I will be curious to see what happens next, especially if we now leave those waters alone.t I wonder if 20 years from now, it will be a thriving marine wildlife reserve. The decontamination zone around Chernobyl in the Ukraine is now a haven for wildlife.

Even a small amount of toxic waste can have serious consequences, but 20 years’ worth? I wonder if this has happened in other parts of the world as well.
