Archaeological and Cultural Consultation
Sustainable Resource Harvesting & Underwater Recordation
New
developments in underwater imaging, remote sensing and harvesting
technologies promise a greener future for resource collection.
Underwater logging and mineral extraction are fields in their infancy
with an unlimited potential for growth.
Unfortunately, legislation
protecting cultural heritage in this places is often overlooked simply
because these places are underwater. In reservoirs across the United
States, activities take place with determination of effect and in
international waters, legislation is thought not to apply.
This situation will change with
time, and legislative penalties for disturbance of cultural areas may be
retroactively applied. Heritage Pacific offers our clients in these
field an 'insurance policy' on this possibility by undertaken
archaeological survey prior to project undertaking.
This work is inexpensive, quick,
and will assure that your new company is in full compliance with United
States and International (UNESCO) legislation.
