Those in power are only thinking of how to make a dime, so anything in the ocean within and in some cases outside territorial waters has some law to make the governing nation get rich off someones elses work or find. Does that sound familiar as in: "You didnt do that, somebody else did!"  Next thing we know, there will be laws that if you find do much as a penny on the street, you will have to turn it in to the government.

If the plane is not a grave, then what is proposed to be done with it? leaving it where it is will mean that it will continue to deteriorate to become a smudge of rusted steel and corroded aluminum. It is entirely too deep for recreational diving, so either recovery or bringing it to shallower water seem to be options if "the discovery of even one more... is important to naval aviation."
