I submit this evidence to bring the issue of the protection of the UK’s underwater cultural heritage to the attention of the Committee. The LOSC contains some references to the protection of archaeological objects, however in practice, the provisions are vague and largely ineffective. The UK should ratify the UNESCO Convention without delay, which specifically serves to protect underwater heritage. Wrecked warships and State-owned vessels are used as a particular example of how the UNESCO Convention could facilitate improved protection for underwater heritage.
