"It's slowly being consumed by a thriving undersea ecosystem — and by what scientists suspect is sheer human greed."
I was confused by this statement, how is it being consumed by human greed?
I clicked on the link and it brought me to an article titled "Stop plundering of the Titanic, says expert who found wreck" and said "Russians are selling dives"[1]
How can anyone be diving down to the Titanic and stealing from it? It's 12,500 feet below the ocean's surface. The deepest humans can dive with scuba gear is about 350 feet. Sure, maybe they are taking robots down there, but how many such commercial under water robots exist that can go down to that depth? Aren't these very expensive robots? I doubt these are being used for tourist scavenger hunting trips to the Titanic?
