I notice the video states that the sight hadn't yet been revealed to stop divers disturbing the site before it had been recorded. Doesn't the U.S. have legislation to protect historic shipwrecks?

I think so but there are those who will ignore it and basically destroy the site as far as research and preservation is concerned.  Even naval war graves (sunk during battle) have been destroyed.
