Do you know if they have continued recovering debris/bodies at the crash site? I am just curious to know, or whether they have given up.
I have no information, other than the "Ile de Sein" has returned to the ROP following a crew change in Dakar.

My understanding is that the BEA may still be searching for the missing SSFDR ULB, and there could be other items they wish to recover. The BEA has made it clear that the recovery of bodies is not their mission, and IIRC the French courts have stopped any further recovery of bodies. DNA has been successfully extracted from those brought to the surface, and what may happen next is unclear.

The BEA may have something to say on this matter at their next press release.
