My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandbot, Jon Pull Bolt, was the first to say, "No, Sir, I am not ready to give up the beer!"

Since 2002, NOAA's Ocean Exploration Office has supported about two dozen multidisciplinary expeditions of discovery each year, of which, about eight projects focus on marine archaeology.... NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events, and providing environmental stewardship of the nation's coastal and marine resources./i>

This is an interesting undertaking, but given NOAA's mission stated above, the funding should probably come from another, private source. Taxpayers footing the bill for 2 dozen expeditions each year has got to run into some serious money. Sounds to me like this is outside of their charter.
