Three Threats, Three Books
The Ocean Foundation has a new project that aims to bring awareness about the threats of bottom trawling, potentially polluting wrecks (PPWs) and deep seabed mining (DSM) to Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH). In partnership with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation Heritage and Education Centre and with cooperation from The International Committee on Underwater Cultural Heritage (ICUCH) within the International Committee on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), it is one of the only endorsed Activities under the UN Decade for Ocean Science focusing on cultural heritage. The project will publish one open-access book on each topic by 2025.
