Typical.. heated debates over a few gallons of acid diluted into 10's of millions of gallons of sea water :rotfl: Frankly "sealing them up" would most likely do more damage than the acid itself.
On a side note did you know that the chemical make up of sea water is virtually the same within a few parts per million wether it be the pacific, atlantic, artic, or antarctic ?
