what trade off? the Brits got everything and didn't have to pay a dime. I don't see where there was any trade off going on.
I also don't see how the Nunavut can lay claim to anything, as they said in the article "International maritime law says military shipwrecks remain the property of the originating country"
you'd think that would overrule an agreement the Canadian government may have made with Nunavut.
