| Abstract: | On January 2, 2009, the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage entered into force, setting
an international precedent for the protection and preservation of underwater archaeological resources and providing guidelines
for site management and responsible investigation. Historically, submerged cultural resources, particularly shipwrecks, have
been exploited primarily for their potential monetary value. Over the last 50 years archaeologists have challenged this perception,
demonstrating the cultural and scientific value of submerged cultural resources. |
