Buried Waste in the Seabed—Acoustic Imaging and Bio-toxicity Results from the European SITAR Project /
Buried waste on the seabed is a major source of pollution. But, very often, waste sites are not known until a serious problem occurs, or are not adequately mapped. Recent examples around Europe include WWI and WWII ammunition dump sites (e.g. Beufort Dyke in the UK), dumped nuclear submarines in the...
