geez, well i don't think salt water will ruin the wood for chip board, and yes labor and ships cost money, all i was saying is taxpayers should not be paying to clean this up, there are uses for this stuff. why spend billions to clean it up and throw it away, someone needs to get on the ball and take advantage of this. but maybe your right, there is no use for this, we should just wait for it to end up on our beaches and chocking out our bays so we can spend our tax money to dispose of it, tax money we obviously don't have.
