The Army intends to leave the weapons at the site because moving them could pose more of a threat to people and the environment.[1] A 2010 study led by Margo Edwards indicated that the munitions were not a hazard, but that they were deteriorating and should continue to be monitored.[8] Researchers made 16 dives in submersible vehicles to depths of 2,000 feet (610 m) over three years, locating more than 2,000 munitions. The site is too deep for easy public access, and fishing boats do not trawl near them.[7]
