Ammunition dump:
 Some
decades ago, ammunition dumping, in the water, was a
commonly accepted, cheap alternative to destruction.
But this results in a major ecological
and safety problems. Ammunition is indeed better preserved
underwater but after many years, the shells start to
corrode and the explosives become unstable.
The consequences are incalculable if
nothing is done. Recovery is not without danger and
demands specialised personnel.
