Ending The Destruction Of Our Undersea Cultural Heritage

For too long criminals have been destroying our undersea cultural heritage (UCH), damaging the marine environment, and desecrating naval war graves through unauthorised salvage of wreck sites. No longer. By using satellites and artificial intelligence originally designed to stop illegal fishing, we can now detect unauthorised salvage activities anywhere in the world and help hold these criminals to account. The Maritime Archaeology Sea Trust (MAST) and OceanMind have teamed up to provide the Maritime Observatory, a UCH intelligence hub that supports governments with surveillance of important sites and investigation into suspicious activity. The Maritime Observatory is providing expert support to several active international cases.
