This is an article in Hakai magazine about efforts to remove war materiel from the Baltic using robotics . . . it reminded me of your film about the ordnance disposed of near Halifax's harbour and elsewhere. Maybe the chemicals leaching from them have been affecting reproductive capacity of important commercial species like the cod and the bomb sites should be cleaned up, if it's not too late and even possible?
After doing a long world tour of UXO my conclusion is there's nothing can be done. The apocalypse happened. We just didn't notice because light glances off the surface of the water and we didn't see it. What's done is done. Picking at it now could cost all the wealth we have and just make it worse.
