Examples are the scuttled warships at Scappa Flow – which are essentially just shipwrecks, though their thick armour plating contributes to their survival as recogniseable structures. Other things, however, include live munitions and chemical weapons. These can make for unpleasant surprises for fishermen (Deep Sea News June 14th, 2010), though where mapped, exclusion zones become interesting and quite diverse ecologies. Leading to the sad conclusion that mustard gas can be less damaging than fisheries practice… From Deep Sea News March 12th, 2009 [...] [...] Warfare ecology: What happens to munitions dumped at sea? – Amongst other things, they become habitats.
