Underwater Logging

Very cool technology from Triton Logging When Hydroelectric Dams are built, the incoming lake will cover acres of standing timber. The water protects this from decay so wood many decades old is still perfectly good if a bit damp. Triton Logging built an underwater ROV -- the SawFish -- that can cut down these trees and attach a float bag (up to 50 float bags are available without having to surface) and then move on to the next tree.
