@import url("../css/menuMatt.css"); Abandoned Shipwreck Act Guidelines Part II. Guidelines A. Establishing State Shipwreck Management Programs Almost every State, including landlocked ones with navigable rivers and lakes, contains shipwrecks in or on its submerged lands. Under the Act, the respective States now clearly hold title to and are responsible for managing a large number of previously abandoned shipwrecks located in State waters. The Act encourages the States to carry out their responsibilities under the Act in a manner that protects natural resources and habitat areas, guarantees recreational exploration of shipwreck sites, and allows for appropriate public and private sector recovery of shipwrecks consistent with the protection of the site's historical values and environmental integrity. Many States have not yet established programs to carry out the responsibilities they acquired under the Act. The following guidelines are offered to assist those States in developing legislation and promulgating regulations that authorize the establishment of programs to manage State-owned shipwrecks. Many other States have established shipwreck management programs, some of which have been in operation since the 1970s. The following guidelines are offered to assist those States in reviewing and making any necessary amendments to their respective program's authorizing legislation or implementing regulations to assure that the responsibilities they acquired under the Act are fully accommodated.

Science Applications International Corporation Using Technology to Scour Davy Jones' Locker The sea, any marine archeologist (or buccaneer) will tell you, guards its secrets jealously. First, one must locate a shipwreck and its associated artifacts. Once found, wrecks must be mapped and explored, and artifacts must be retrieved with extreme care. Some lost articles, when exposed to the air after resting safely in the abyss for hundreds or thousands of years, can turn to mush before you can growl "Look lively there, ye lubbers!" Finding soggy shipwrecks has gotten easier over the past fifty years. With the advent and refinement of scuba technology, they've come within easy reach of marine archeologists and of sport and commercial divers who enjoy a good wreck as much as the next swab. It has also helped modern-day scoundrels who, like the pirates of olde, think nothing of pocketing anything that's not nailed down, and even artifacts that are. How has technology expanded the archeologist's reach to ever deeper waters?
