Accredited Non-Governmental Organizations
The Meeting of States Parties and the Scientific and Technical Advisory Body collaborate with accredited non-governmental organizations (NGOs) having activities related to the scope of the Convention.
The cooperation is crucial as NGOs are working directly in the field and with national authorities worldwide. They have invaluable insights into current issues and practices in underwater archaeology, and can directly facilitate the development of underwater archaeology on a national, regional and international level. NGOs are also instrumental in actively disseminating the ethical principles and guidelines of the 2001 Convention.
