SAN DIEGO (KSWB) – Deep-sea study by Scripps Institute of Oceanography finds WWIl-era munitions in dump site off Los Angles coast

However, researchers say it will still take time to understand how massive amounts of DDT ended up in these areas, as well as how far it may be spreading through the food chain from the seafloor.

An unprecedented expedition to map parts of Southern California’s deep-sea has uncovered World War II military weaponry littering the seafloor in massive dumping sites off the coast of Los Angeles.

The research effort spearheaded by Scripps Institute of Oceanography sheds new light on exactly what objects lay beneath the surface after thousands of “barrel-like” objects likely containing toxic chemicals were discovered by sonar in stretches of the seafloor in 2021.
