Bayano Lake
Bayano Lake is what has created Panama's underwater treasure. Bayano Lake is actually a reservoir & is one of the biggest in the region. It was created for hydro-electric power by harnessing the Bayano River. The resevoir covers 350 square kilometers & is surrounded by lush tropical forests. When the area was flooded, the forest was covered with water & the trees were mostly knocked down & died in the process.
During the natural effects of aging submerged forests, methane is released into the atmosphere. Your first inclination is possibly to question if the process of removing the lumber from the lake is environmentally friendly? Actually, it is essentially the opposite. The Panamanian government is a healthy democratic body & has embraced the treasure that is in the bottom of Bayano Lake as well as the benefit of responsibly allowing private industry to come in & bring it to the surface. This likely would fall into the hands of the Black Market if not addressed formally & it now employs local tribesmen who understand the weather & geographical challenges of their childhood lands where generations have thrived.
The process of retrieving the lumber is not the typical approach of the traditional logging industry. Special chainsaws for underwater use by divers, balloons & boats to name a few are used to retrieve the often enormous, extremely heavy trees to the surface. There are very unique dangers involved in this process, which include local weather patterns that can turn quickly & dramatically worsen in a short period of time while divers are under water. The extraction of the trees can only be done in certain times of the year due to rain & flooding. Once the trees are brought to the shore, they have to be dried & stacked before they can be further processed. To sum up the entire processes, it takes a lot of work, special man made circumstances, favorable political & environmental conditions to bring this exotic lumber to market in the United States.
