Certainly
something like the "Grotte Cosquer" should be protected against
vandels.
But various
wrecks that are not nessesarily of historic value should be open to
salvage. It would help propel more development in submarines by giving an
extra monetary boost to those involved in subs. That would in turn help
propel other ventures. We should lobby Congress !!

One man's junk is another man's
treasure... One see's a golden spanish coin, another a sizable piece of
gold.
