Managing the Marine Cultural Heritage
29-30 September 2004
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, UK.
Recent decades have witnessed an expansion of archaeological activity under water and in the coastal zone. This work has raised awareness of the potential and importance of the resource. There has also been a realisation of the threats to this material from human and natural action, sea-level rise and erosion, increased development, industrial extraction, exploitation of marine resources and sporting activities which are all contributing to damage and loss.
The conference aims to inform those involved in managing the submerged cultural resource of trials, developments or best practice models from around the world.
