The obsession with saving every relic is epidemic. Must be money in it for someone. Oh wait, there is, for academics to pursue their passions. Take that to the grocery store and see what you get...

Quagga mussels are an EU thing We call them Zebra Mussels here.
Shouldn't that be what they call them in Africa?

RIMMER: (Suddenly loses his temper) Look, I'm sick of hearing about these stupid cats! My concerns are slightly more meaningful than what coloured stupid smegging cardboard hat I'm wearing! I'm trying to decipher this! This is science, laddie! You can smirk, Lister, but I believe the Quagaars--
LISTER: Quagars?
RIMMER: Quagaaaars! It's a name I made up! Double A, actually! I believe the Quagaars have the technology to give me a new body!

The obvious solution to fighting this mussel infestation is to widely deploy marinara sauce. In support of this mussel elimination campaign, government pasta subsides must also be enhanced and the availability of additional supplies of garlic and olive oil will be essential to boost consumption of these viscous bivalves.

“There is currently no way to stop the unrelenting shellfish and scientists are racing to excavate as many of the ships as possible before they are consumed.” Sounds like a BS premise in order to get gubmint grant money flowing to a group of needy "scientists".

That’s exactly what it is. There is no REAL need to excavate ships that have sunk.

These ships were all written off a long time ago....sheesh
