The threat to shipwrecks is zero. These are small arms ranges - the largest ammo is 7.62 mm, or the equivalent to a .308. There is zero chance of impacting a shipwreck. These areas will be restricted during live fire times only, probably about 3-4 times a years for a few hours at a time at most. These ranges will be conducted during the week, or during the time periods with the least amount of boat traffic. The most impact these training sessions would have on wreck diving or hunting would probably be someone seeing a notice in the local paper.
