Training Activities for the Underwater Cultural Heritage
One of the major concerns of UNESCO is the establishment of research methodologies that follow international and scientific standards in activities directed at underwater cultural heritage. In order to obtain proper protection, preservation and research of this heritage, it is necessary to count with trained professionals that -along with an appropriate legal framework- safeguard the concerned sites.
UNESCO is committed to this cause through diverse capacity building programmes organized either by its Headquarters or field offices (for example in Bangkok, Dar es Salaam, Havana and Venice). It does so in cooperation with reliable implementation partners in almost every region worldwide.
