Historic shipwrecks saferDavid Nutley, DEH Principal Maritime Heritage Officer, has been
elected as Vice President of ICOMOS International Scientific Committee
for Underwater Cultural Heritage (ICUCH) at its 2008 annual meeting.
Barbados recently became the 20th country to ratify the 2001 UNESCO
convention for the protection of the underwater cultural heritage.
The 20th ratification enables the Convention to come into force
as international law (for signatory countries). The convention protects
all forms of cultural heritage fully or partially submerged for
at least 100 years and promotes international cooperation in their
management. It closes a gap, particularly in the open ocean, where
shipwrecks have had little or no statutory protection while becoming
more exposed to commercial exploitation as technological advances
enable access to sites that have been protected by their environment
for hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of years. Staff updateApplications for the following position in DEH Heritage Branch
