underwater heritage management

Underwater heritage management involves protecting and preserving historical objects and sites located beneath the ocean or lakes, such as shipwrecks, submerged cities, and ancient artifacts. It ensures these cultural treasures are safeguarded from threats like looting, natural decay, or development activities, while allowing for research, education, and sustainable tourism. Professionals develop policies, conduct conservation efforts, and collaborate with stakeholders to balance preservation with responsible use, helping future generations appreciate and learn from our submerged history.
