Cultural Heritage: Underwater Assets
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to strengthen protection of cultural heritage assets in waters beyond 12 nautical miles offshore.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government are continuing to work on implementing the provisions of the Marine and Coastal Access Act. We are looking at options for strengthening protection of significant underwater cultural heritage assets beyond territorial waters. We are observing how signatories of the 2001 Convention on Underwater Cultural Heritage go about implementing it. We support the principles of the annexe of the convention in respect of best practice and treatment of underwater cultural heritage.
