Contract in the DR

[north DR guy]

Someone asked me to invest into a project in the DR said they had a Contract, One guys name was Rog or Ron and Bill I think, said he had a Billion air behind him but he seamed a little sketchy

Said he had information and locations of shipwrecks.

Any one know this guy

I hear stuff sometimes, but as far as I know there are people working on getting permits to work in the DR, but they have not been successful so far. Their Constitution forbids 'treasure hunting' in something over 10 places according to someone who has pursued a permit since the moratorium.
I'd love to see them open it up, but I wouldn't invest much time or treasure there until something new happens

all said..pretty sure the DR waters are closed to recovery..

While most are open for permits on search and ID....that does not mean recovery ...

The Dominican republic just ratified the Unesco convention...

The DR would have to change the constitution in order to Give UNESCO control and that would be treason, So could it happen ?

Also No contracts can be given until the case with ARS/GME is over, Is the DR done ? I can tell you who is not going to get a contract, and maybe who will but that is for another day.

This process has been in the workings since 2017.

In 2019, the Constitutional Court of the DR declared the UNESCO Convention to be in accordance with the DR internal laws, so all obstacles were removed:

[WRECKING]

Alexandre, I have a question: What is a shipwreck, or what is just some wreckage that could be recycled.
Recycled because it is harmful to the environment, the fish and other sea life and through the food chain finally harmful to people.
Examples, mercury, lead, copper etc.
Or recycled for art and decoration, like brass ship nails, copper sheeting, worm eaten timber.
A specific example:
Along the Gulf Stream, on the edge of the Bahama Banks, thousands of ships got wrecked. At South Riding Rocks, there is a ballast pile on the west side of the rock.
There is the bottom of a 1900's large ship on the East side of the rock. Fairly new timbers, oak, 3-4 inch planking. 10 inch brass, square nails. Really fantastic stuff to recycle and make into decorative art.
Then, also on the east side, old copper pins scattered over acres of sea bottom. Obviously the remains of an old shipwreck.
Scattered over the whole area, iron rigging, pins and nails from different shipwrecks.
Digging in the sand one finds nails and pins attached to pieces of burned wood, showing that the wreckers of old burned the shipwrecks to recycle whatever metals they could save.
Then there was a trail of lead ingots about 3-4 pounds each, starting at the South end of the rock and continuing, I don't know how far to the East. I suspect it to be ballast from a more modern boat or Yacht. I picked up 104 of them, that was all I could carry.
Lead is very harmful to all creatures and should always be removed, recycled!!!!!!

There are no anchors or cannon anywhere nearby.

There are hundreds of similar sites all along the Bahama Banks.
Should these areas or sites be considered as shipwrecks?
Should these sites be cleaned up of harmful debris?
Should these sites be free for all?
