What happens when the sea becomes the storage place for history’s most dangerous waste? Millions of tonnes of munitions were dumped at the end of the Second World War. For decades, they remained largely out of sight. Now, as casings corrode and contaminants leak into the ocean, they are becoming a growing pollution challenge to the marine environment. In our latest partnered episode with Engineering Matters, we explore the hidden legacy of dumped munitions beneath Europe’s seas and how Fugro, GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel and partners in the EU-funded @CAMMera consortium are working to move the conversation from detection to scalable clearance and disposal. How? By combining science, technology, policy and commercial thinking to address this shared environmental challenge. Because what we decide to do now will shape the health of our oceans for generations to come. 🎧 Listen to the episode: https://bit.ly/4glZ5YF #OceanHealth #MarineEnvironment #UXO #Offshore #EngineeringMatters
