Description

Human activity has irrevocably impacted our oceans, posing significant threats to both marine ecosystems and cultural heritage. The conference “Clean Oceans and Mapping our Seas” seeks to address these pressing issues by bringing together experts, stakeholders, and enthusiasts to explore innovative digital solutions and strategies that can be used to aid the documentation and interpretation of these issues on cultural heritage.

Understanding the Challenges: Overexploitation of marine resources, pollution from various sources, and the effects of climate change have all taken a toll on our seas. These activities not only endanger marine life but also jeopardize our cultural heritage, including ancient shipwrecks, submerged artifacts, and coastal monuments.
