| Popis: |
The types of cultural heritage sites that are located in the seas surrounding Norway range from prehistoric sites from the Palaeolithic era to sites evidencing present-day human impact. Relics of ships from medieval times onwards are the most abundant category of the known underwater cultural heritage (UCH). The main threats to sites outside the territorial waters of Norway are today considered to be industrial activities, fisheries, especially trawling, dredging and the exploitation of oil and gas. Underwater archaeology dawned in the mid-1950s in Norway when scuba-divers began to report finds to the maritime museums. This initiated a new public interest in shipwrecks. As a State Party to the LOSC, Norway is duty-bound to observe the stipulations of the LOSC's provisions concerning UCH. Keywords: LOSC; Norway; underwater cultural heritage (UCH) |
