I like this story.
I know the other person who commented wont see this but I read that because the state govt sued the ship owners for clean up costs (plus legal fees) so they HAVE to use the money for that. So if they decided to leave the wreck there then they would have to give that money back and also wear the legal costs involve in the case. So the ships gotta go!
It IS kinda cool nature has taken over the ship over the years, but I am enjoying reading about one of Titans jobs in progress. Its really fascinating - and they are obviously doing their best to not harm the creatures that have made the ship their home.

Once again politics gets in the way. We have environmentalists that don't want us to cut the trees because of the possibility of a spotted owl. We have environmentalists who don't want us to use our beautiful beaches because of the Snowy Plover (who are not native to Oregon). But....we have a shipwreck full of sea life, nesting birds, visitors such as whales and sea lions, not to mention the other sea life that claims that as their home and where's the environmentalists? The governer jumps in and wants it destroyed and so it is. It's not fair. That's what you get when politics get in the way. What about what the people and wildlife want? Those who don't live on the coast are the ones who cause the most problems and make most of the decisions for the coastal communities.
