Apologies if this was already posted. I came across an article on CNN and it pointed to this Vid.

Eh the maps weren't very granular. Assuming that they were trusted scientists, making a non-disclosure agreement and at least requiring them to say that they will not use any GPS. Most academia know that if they screw up a non-disclosure like that they'd kiss a decent college level career goodbye. You have to have experts involved if you're going to take a good shot at getting it protected. A random guy claiming that it is an important ancient forest isn't going to cut it.

Mmm Bull sharks hiding in the forest. Now that is not a dive hazard I have heard before.
true, I acknowledge that...but I also know that the more people that know about something...the less chance of it remaining a secret there is....as for the granularity...it's about 9 miles off the coast, in the path of hurricane whatever it was...and you can see condos from the site was what I gathered....there's only so much water to search if you really wanted to find it...it's also in a hole, with a ton of fish...so if you have sonar, I would imagine you would stand a decent chance of finding it...especially if you know the rough area to search...

Stop watching/viewing CNN.
The first line is "fifteen miles from any land"
It is a risk, but one that they'll need to take. That kind of "reef" in relatively shallow water could be a new and neat place for those of us that drive past a lot of ocean near I-10 to get to Florida.

I had heard about this forest but not seen the video. Nice.
