Having access to these sites is important for public awareness and appreciation of our heritage. Treat them with the respect you would give a churchyard.
Many wrecks make great habitats for marine life.
Treat them with the care you would give to coral reefs. Respect the Future Explore wrecks, where allowed, but don't damage or disturb them. Take photos rather than souvenirs, so that our wrecks remain for future divers to see. Many wrecks have an important history and hold clues to our maritime past. If you find anything, report it to the appropriate authorities, who will pass on such information to archaeological experts.
