SARCC will mainstream nature-based solutions (NBS) into coastal management and policy making, where they are integrated into existing grey infrastructure and flood defences. The project builds the capacity of urban leaders, decision-makers and officers involved in coastal flood defences to deploy NBS and understand the additional benefits that they offer in comparison to traditional grey infrastructure. The project area ranges from Cornwal in southwest England, to the Flemish coastline. MAT are assessing the under-used archaeological, historical and palaeo-environmental information as data sources to provide insights into the impact of human activities along the coastline from the early Holocene to the mid-20th century. Analysis of the material is demonstrating long-term patterns of coastal change . This knowledge is providing a positive contribution to the coastal management, decision making process and to raise stakeholder awareness. It will be particularly valuable where nature based solutions are to be reinstated and there is a desire to work in tandem with long term natural processes rather than in opposition. The outputs will contribute to the UN Decade of Ocean Science and Sustainable development and the UN sustainable development goals 11, 13 and 14.

The Discover Maritime Archaeology eLearning course is the entry level to the Nautical Archaeology Society's Education Programme. No prior knowledge or training is required to complete this course. This online course allows people to learn the basic theory of maritime archaeology at their own pace. It demonstrates to participants that maritime archaeology is not just about shipwrecks, and it is certainly not all underwater. The six modules in this course cover the following topics: introduction to maritime archaeology, site types, artefact investigation, legislation and recording and monitoring sites. The legislation module outlines the mechanisms that are in place to protect our heritage that is underwater, on the foreshore and on land. Participants will learn how this applies to visiting or investigating historic sites. There is a particular emphasis on promoting the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. This theory course and accompanying practical Recorder Skills Day is the first of the two components of the NAS Foundation qualification, which will allow graduates to participate in NAS fieldwork in the UK and overseas.

The submerged Mesolithic landscape at Bouldnor Cliff lies on the edge of the drowned palaeo-valley and is now 11m underwater, 1km east of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. It stretches for a further kilometre west to east and contains five known loci containing archaeological evidence. It lies within the Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation and is in the Yarmouth to Cowes candidate Marine Conservation Zone.

Project Tangaroa is a collaboration between The Ocean Foundation (TOF), Lloyd’s Register Foundation, and Waves Group. It is supported through the LRF funded Threats to Our Ocean Heritage project that TOF runs and is an endorsed Decade Action. Groups involved in the project include Major Projects Foundation, ICOMOS-ICUCH, IUCN, International Maritime Organisation, and participants from the UK, Baltic, North America, Pacific, and the Arctic region. Pollution from PPWs is a cross-border problem, affecting global society, the environment and economies. It has serious threats and negative impacts on wildlife, marine ecosystems, coastal communities (food, livelihoods, and habitability), human health and safety (Hazardous and Noxious Substances, munitions, chemicals) and locks in high costs for emergency response and remediation. Pro-active action on PPWs will reduce costs and reduce the risk and impact of these threats. Tangaroa brings together experts for a series of workshops. The workshops convene an international network of researchers, industry experts and stakeholders to discuss this issue and by the end have developed a Global Framework for the Near- and Long-Term Assessment, Intervention and Sharing of Data for Potentially Polluting Wrecks and an International Standard and protocols for PPW assessment and intervention. The aim is to demonstrate improved methodologies for proactive risk management and cost reductions, with a technology roadmap to optimise PPW management. This tool-kit will provide assurance to stakeholders and policy makers and therefore facilitate the aggregation of multilateral finance required to boost resilience. Workshop 1 was held in London in March and served as an introduction to the project as well as in-depth discussions about the governance and regulatory framework for PPWs. The workshop had 54 in-person attendees representing 38 organisations and 11 organisations represented in online attendance. Workshop 2 was just held in Helsinki with 64 in-person and 32 online. The discussion theme was technology and methodology for PPW assessment and intervention. Workshop 3 is scheduled for March 2025, in Malta, and will focus on archives and dissemination of cultural heritage data for PPWs.

This is an ocean literacy project highlighting the threats to our Ocean Heritage, both natural and cultural, from bottom trawling, deep seabed mining, and potentially polluting wrecks. It is an endorsed Action under the UN Decade for Ocean Science. The action consists of three open access books, four workshops on PPWs, and associated multimedia products which target both stakeholders and the general public. The action is a collaboration between The Ocean Foundation, Lloyd’s Register Foundation Heritage and Education Centre and has collaboration with other organisations such as ICOMOS-ICUCH. One book on underwater cultural heritage and bottom trawling and one on potentially polluting wrecks was be published (May 2024) as part of the Springer Briefs in Underwater Archaeology Series. A book highlighting the threats from seabed mining will be published as an edition of ICOMOS Heritage at Risk series. The books are intended as education outreach resources that will shine a light on how these activities are threats not only to UCH but also to natural heritage. This is a call to action and includes recommending a moratoria on the activities until scientific surveys and research have been done and baseline information about our ocean heritage (natural and cultural) is integrated into Environmental Impact Assessments, Marine Spatial Planning– including the setting aside of significant natural and cultural heritage as Marine Protected Areas.
