Extreme shock waves emanate from underwater detonations. They spread almost undamped and at different velocities in water and seabed. Impact forces and shear forces have tearing effects on tissues of marine creatures, having air or fat in exposed organs.

Here are the results of scientific studies on modern methods for minimizing the risks of detonations for ammunition disposal presented. For example, for more than 10 years the bubbling is proven to protect porpoises in the North and Baltic Sea.
