In an effort to learn more about what led to the submersible's implosion during its mission to view the Titanic's disaster, the US Coast Guard declared retrieving objects from the ocean below to be a priority.
The investigation's captain, Captain Jason Neubauer, said salvaging the ship's wreckage was a priority after pieces of the ship were discovered on Thursday in the Atlantic Ocean, 487 meters (1,600 feet) from the Titanic.
Officials came to the conclusion that Titan had experienced a catastrophic implosion that killed the five astronauts aboard as a result of the discovery.
Cpt Neubauer stated during a press conference on Sunday that no human remains have been discovered so far.
He stated to reporters: I won't go into the specifics of the recovery efforts, but we are taking every precaution on the scene in case we come across any human remains.
Recovering objects from the ocean floor is currently a top priority for the investigation.
The other causes would be part of the study because we have already mapped the accident scene in the field.
He also disclosed that the US Coast Guard and the UK's Marine Accident Investigation Branch are cooperating closely to determine what transpired as part of the UK's Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) investigation.
The investigation will look into whether an act of misconduct, incompetence, ignorance, unskillfulness, or willful violation of law played a role in the man's demise.
The results of the investigation will then be published, along with any possible recommendations, which may include referring individuals to relevant authorities for prosecution.
The search's coordinator, Rear Admiral John Mauger, stated during the same press briefing that he had been in touch with the men's families to keep them informed.
Additionally, he stated that a total of 13,000 square miles had been explored by workers employing 11 ships, 5 subsurface probes, and 4 air assets.
Remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, have kept scanning the region since Friday as part of a scaled-back investigation into what occurred.
The Polar Prince, Titan's mother ship, arrived back at the dock on Saturday.
