Most people think of finding treasures on the bottom of the ocean. But, off the beautiful shores of Puerto Rico, you're more likely to find unexploded bombs. Yes, you heard me right...
UNEXPLODED BOMBS!!!
Divers discovered them a while ago, but the US Navy has yet to take them out. What's worse is that they are releasing cancer-causing emissions and harmful toxins. This is not only bad for the marine animals, but it's also taking a toll on the fishing industry near Puerto Rico. With all of these creatures becoming intoxicated, they are unsafe to eat. These bombs arrived here when the Navy was testing them during World War II. I don't understand why the Navy hasn't taken them out yet. With all of the consequences for leaving the bombs there, they're just too lazy to pick them up and at least move them. I also feel sorry for the mammals living in the waters near the site of the "munission graveyard" and how they have to survive with death floating around them. In all, I believe leaving the bombs in the water was a foolish idea because of the threats that the creatures are taking... plus, I love shrimp!
