From what I've noted, and also heard, the zebra mussels are starting to taper
off.  I think that nature will take its course with them.  Something that
predates on them will appear.  They don't like copper, they don't seem to like
glass or china.  Artifacts made of those things remain uncovered by them.
Many areas in the Great Lakes are preserves, and that's why artifacts remain
intact for all to see.  

The ocean is different, but the Great Lakes preserve their wrecks.  The cold
fresh water allows wooden schooners to remain intact even after 100 yrs on the
bottom.  The zebra mussels are a threat, but hopefully one that will be
manageable within a short time.
