What in the actual F is a "historic shipwreck"
Newsflash! Little creatures like to eat wood.
Also Newsflash! The ships are ALREADY GONE! They sank...IN THE WATER!
A ship that sank in the water does not need to be "preserved" and we don't have to be concerned at all that they are being eaten away by hungry creatures.
“There is currently no way to stop the unrelenting shellfish and scientists are racing to excavate as many of the ships as possible before they are consumed.”
What a total waste of time and expense. Just build a model or paint a picture and go on with your life.
Being destroyed...
I think that ship sailed already.
(har har)
I read the article twice and didn’t see anything about climate change being a factor in all of this
I just got up so I’m still a dreary but can anyone confirm this amazing event
Yeah, cause I don’t have enough crises to worry about? I gotta add “historic ship wrecks in the Great Lakes? The nation is imploding, millions of enemy agents are flooding into America, and, sorry, I don’t care about wooden relics in Lake Erie.
Maybe biden can appoint a ‘shipwreck money laundering Commission’ and put kamala in charge. Ought to be good for 10% of a billion every year.
Maybe we need some of Obamas NASA mussel outreach
Ridiculous. Boats made out of wood will eventually decay and there will be nothing recognizable left of them. No sea creatures are necessary for this to happen.
A waste of newsprint.
Yup. That’s why they are called “wrecks”.
SO WHAT!
(Not yelling at you, cotton1706)
As stupid/innocent as it sounds, this is yet another Boris and Natasha plot for government interference w/private economy.
Just like with historic districts, where you are basically banned from improvements that might create income or provide infrastructure to support population growth, this will just increase the surface area where vessels will not be allowed to travel or fishermen to fish.
“...originally native to the waters of Russia and Ukraine...”
Perhaps this a message to Hunter Xiden and porridge brain FJB as a new way to launder money if their operation in Ukraine is falling apart.
“Scambait”-somebody trolling for a state or federal grant
For people who steadfastly believe in evolution they certainly seem to want to bring a halt to it by freezing everything as it is with no further natural development.
SOS
Save Our Shipwrecks!
Even Kramer didn’t see this one coming.
They were fleeing communism and corruption and are now just trying to make new homes here in the USA by eating abandoned sunken ships. Leave illegal alien mussels alone!
I had the exact same reaction. And by the way it talks about “pristine clear waters”. Just a few years ago “they” were going apocalyptic over the zebra mussell as an invasive species until they discovered that it actually made the water clearer. Same thing with this...it’s actually CLEANING the garbage out of the water faster.
Decomposition. It happens to you, too.
if it’s a wreck, so what?
whatever was wanted should have been gotten soon after the wreck.
whatever wasn’t gotten was forfeited to nature.
Those canals weren’t such a good idea after all.
