This video delves into the environmental dangers posed by sunken WWII shipwrecks, focusing on the German hospital ship Stuttgart, which lies off the coast of Gdansk. Since its discovery in 1999, experts from the Marine Institute of Gdansk have monitored the wreck as it continues to leak oil, contaminating the surrounding seabed and threatening the local ecosystem. This issue is not isolated, as over 6,300 WWII wrecks worldwide contain oil and hazardous materials that pose a similar environmental risk. However, the high cost and complexity of salvaging these wrecks have left many nations, including Poland, grappling with how to address the threat before it causes irreparable harm.
