From Washington Post

“The desire to maintain the ship in somewhat of a conservable state is one of the primary concerns. That’s a little bit different from typical salvage. Oftentimes, aside from human remains or things like a flight data recorder, it’s simply object recovery. It’s bringing it up safely and disposing of it. Whereas these artefacts will be preserved for future generations,” said Chief Warrant Officer Jason Potts, the on-scene commander for the CSS Georgia operation.
