I understand that the USCG and Army Corps of Engineers is evaluating the threat of the munitions and options for their remediation (plain speak: safely negating the hazard they pose). Someone should consider contacting the Navy if not already done so the Navy can consider (stress consider) the proper course of action. The only folks that are qualified to properly assess the hazard posed by these munitions are in fact Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel. I think if they were to be consulted, they might suggest that many factors may contribute to the relative high (or low) hazard posed by the munitions, taking into account the many decades after their deployment and after being subjected to decades of environmental and fishing abuse.
