BBC NEWS | England | Somerset | Experts detonate WWII beach mine

Comment from one news site :

The bay is home to 190 species of birds and sites of historical interest, including 12th Century fish weirs.

Dr Helen Phillips, chief executive of the environmental public body Natural England, said: "The area provides important feeding grounds and roosting sites for wintering waterfowl and waders."
And your point is?

Perhaps we should have let it drift on until it detonated itself under a boat full of tourists perhaps?
