I want to ask a dumb question: if it was known that this area was high traffic, why are archaeologists only just now discovering these wrecks? Is it not obvious to search this area for wrecks given its history? The article hints that climate change is increasing urgency. Is the case here that we knew there should be wrecks here, but climate change made the search happen?

While I can't speak for these wrecks specifically, archeology as a field is chronically underfunded. They have to pick and choose their battles.

There are VASTLY more interesting archeological sites than the world has resources to investigate!

The orcas have been sinking boats for longer than we thought.
