Offshore Alabama, but this *may* have some ESL problems:
The thriving eco system has stood devoid of oxygen for over 12,000 years. Some of the tree stumps found are half-a-mile in diameter.

"Some of the tree stumps found are half-a-mile in diameter." Big tree... or else the reporter got it massively wrong (again).

... found a primeval cypress forest nearly one mile wide. Some of the tree stumps found are half-a-mile in diameter.
So the "forest" is two trees wide?

Small forest, big trees. The level of journalism we have nowadays makes me shudder.

Typical reporters. I didn’t read the article so I can’t say if they claimed the sea level rose due to AGW or not.

half-a-MILE? Maybe a half-meter, but a half-MILE? A tree with a trunk over 2,600 FEET WIDE? Get the f*** out of town.

I guess we’ll see it on the new season of “Ax Men”.
On the other hand, I’ll bet there a lot of charter captains that ain’t to pleased at this becoming public knowledge.

Bob, if you were a j-school student, you’d know the correct term is “make me shutter.”

Divers can only access this underground treasure 40 minutes at a time to derive any useful information.Curious as to why they are limited to 40 minutes???
Thanks for the post.

Some of the tree stumps found are half-a-mile in diameter. Must be one of "Jack In the Beanstalk" trees...

...10 miles offshore of Alabama.
The thriving eco system has stood devoid of oxygen for over 12,000 years. Some of the tree stumps found are half-a-mile in diameter.
Scientists from Louisiana State tested some of the samples brought up by divers that proved to be 52,000 years old. That means these trees were probably thriving during an period earlier than the Ice Age. Incredibly researchers say the inside of the tree appears to still be hard.
...is owned more by the sea than it is by the U.S. or Mexico is another mystery.
So, if it is only a mile wide, and it is 10 miles offshore from Alabama, how in the heck does Mexico even figure into this?
And, if they were without oxygen for 12,000 years, but some of the trees are 52,000 years old, what happened to the other 40,000 years?
Finally, if some of the trees are a half mile wide, and the whole thing is only am mile wide, just how huge a forest could this be?
This report is more full of holes than swiss cheese.

Lack of resources.
Soon as they can link it to AGW or “Man Made Climate Change”, an application will be made (and approved) for a Government grant of taxpayer dollars to make further studies.
