Actually, its all very amusing.
First, it's all about a permit that never comes.
Second, if the permit is actually issued, then the real comedy begins. Apparently because the SeaSearcher toy indicated the presence of tons of treasure under worm poop (hilarious) excavations will take place on a ballast pile devoid of any cannons which is a never heard of situation in the history of Spanish galleon discoveries and recoveries. What a show.
