Soft bottom munitions recovery

Soft bottom munitions recovery is a process used to locate, retrieve, and safely dispose of underwater weapons like bombs or shells resting on the seabed, often in areas where military training or testing occurred. The procedure involves using specialized equipment and techniques to detect these munitions, carefully lift or remove them, and render them safe to prevent environmental harm or danger to future activities. It emphasizes minimal disturbance to the seabed, making it suitable for sensitive environments while ensuring safety for personnel and the ecosystem.
