“…Underwater cultural heritage in the form of ships or cargo also has a different value from cultural heritage located on land. This mobile cultural heritage can be accidentally wrecked in the jurisdiction of a nation, so the value contained sometimes has no relevance from that nation, but is very meaningful for the nation that owns the ship which is geographically far away (H. D. Smith & Couper, 2003). This causes the determination of significance value of the underwater cultural heritage is difficult to determine in one particular way.…”

Indonesia memiliki banyak tinggalan budaya bawah air yang berpotensi meningkatkan kebanggaan identitas bangsa dan mendorong kemajuan sosial ekonomi masyarakat. Akan tetapi, saat ini pemanfaatan tinggalan budaya bawah air sebatas pada komoditas ekonomi yang diperjualbelikan tanpa memperhatikan keselamatan dan kelestariannya. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan dalam aspek regulasi pemanfaatan tinggalan budaya bawah air dan menyajikan model pemanfaatan alternatif sebagai respon terhadap permasalahan tersebut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan studi pustaka dan wawancara terstruktur terhadap narasumber yang mewakili Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi, Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan, serta Perkumpulan Ahli Arkeologi Indonesia. Analisis kualitatif terhadap hasil wawancara menunjukkan adanya tumpang tindih implementasi empat regulasi terkait pemanfaatan tinggalan budaya bawah air. Tulisan ini juga menawarkan konsep yang diadopsi dari model konsesi Restorasi Ekosistem sebagai model pemanfaatan tinggalan bawah air yang berkelanjutan.

“…Based on the collected feedback and after searching for existing good practices and norms [2,4,5,[20][21][22][35][36][37][38][39][40], BLUEMED project partners identified the essential elements for managing and creating exhibit interactive solutions, by introducing innovative tools and equipment usable in KACs. So, starting from a thorough analysis of existing models, a new management model has been developed, trying to meet the changing needs of visitors and to understand how they could interact with such innovative facilities and related technological solutions.…”

In recent years, the development in digital technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) has evolved rapidly. These technologies are currently in the process of creating driving change in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), representing innovative means to share information, facilitating access and increasing the value and public awareness on Cultural and Natural Heritage. This is particularly relevant for underwater environments, where the most interesting cultural and naturalistic sites are accessible only to scuba divers, or not accessible at all, due to depth and/or environmental constraints. In addition, in underwater sites, guided diving tours are carried out by professionals that usually describe the area to be visited during the predive briefings; such step is needed due to the impossibility of underwater verbal communication without dedicated equipment, a practice very rarely adopted for recreational diving. So, these difficulties make it almost impossible to replicate under the sea, the guided tour approach that is usually offered in on-land museums. Considering such limitations, several technological applications are emerging to increase the accessibility underwater and enrich users’ experience both for divers and nondivers. This work aims to identify the potential of underwater sites (either cultural or natural) to support the development of sustainable tourism (economic, environmental, cultural and social) in the Mediterranean. Moreover, it focuses on supplying local/regional authorities and stakeholders with a multidisciplinary plan for managing Underwater Museums and Knowledge Centres, by promoting innovation in the diving industry and improving users’/tourists’ experience through value-added services and cutting-edge technologies.

“…Regarding the compatible uses and the synergies created with UCH, these may include: (a) Nature reserves and natural heritage sites (designated or not as MPAs), with which cultural assets co-exist harmoniously and enjoy recognition and protection; (b) scientific research ensuring enhancement of knowledge and education; and (c) recreation and marine tourism activities (wildlife watching, scuba diving, etc. ), so that humankind benefits from the existence of UCH [8,29,36]. However, especially regarding tourism development and leisure opportunities, the challenges faced raise controversy.…”

“…So far, existing literature for UCH, which is quite extensive, mainly focuses on issues of maritime archaeology and preservation [1,3]; on jurisdictions and rights as included in the international or regional legal documents [4][5][6][7] pertaining to management and promotion [8][9][10]; or in its correlation with natural and technological hazards and threats [11][12][13]. On the other hand, literature correlating UCH with stakes and challenges related to the blue growth trend-which, according to the EU is about supporting sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors as a whole-is still very limited.…”

Stakes and Challenges for Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Era of Blue Growth and the Role of Spatial Planning: Implications and Prospects in Greece

Underwater cultural heritage (UCH) constitutes an invaluable asset, which is lately being challenged by the blue growth trend that cannot be easily reconciled with the goal of UCH preservation and promotion. Maritime spatial planning (MSP)—under a place-based approach—creates better chances for UCH to receive more attention in the future compared to other resources, since it is considered to be the key procedure for tackling growing competition among sea users (user-user conflicts) and for mitigating the pressure these users put on the marine environment (natural and cultural). In Greece, a country with great insularity, extensive marine space, and a long and glorious past, UCH resources are in abundance. According to the official Ministry of Culture data-base, there are 88 designated UCH sites throughout the national waters, the majority of which are found very close to the shore. They usually concern ancient cities and built monuments that were eventually submerged (due to earthquakes, geological processes, etc.), so they usually have a mixed nature—terrestrial and marine. These sites, however, constitute a very small part of what is actually lying on the Greek seabed. Estimations for the future identify a rise in accidental discoveries of UCH, due to the blue growth trend and an increase in access to and work in the sea. In this event, much controversy is expected, concerning the appropriate type of management for UCH. The role of MSP in this decision-making process will be decisive, being about “when” and “where” human activities take place at sea, to ensure these are as efficient and sustainable as possible.
