| Organisation Profile |
MAST provides full-cycle maritime archaeological capability, from discovery, excavation and conservation to the museum door. It exists to fill a long overdue void in our understanding of our nation's rich maritime heritage, to ensure that there is a sustainable future for such sites, through archaeology, research, study and dissemination. MAST also runs the Maritime Observatory in partnership with OceanMind: this partnership represents a novel, holistic approach to the deterrence of illegal activity at sea to combine both monitoring and detection of illegal fishing activities and the looting of known shipwreck sites. The Observatory uses a combination of satellites, artificial and human intelligence to study and detect such illegal activity developing patterns to promote the evolution of a predictive intelligence tool. |
