The List of Exempt Shipwrecks is open to modification. The recreational diving community is encouraged to protect these sites for the continued enjoyment of all. In addition, the Board may designate underwater archaeological preserves. While access for recreational, scientific and historical purposes is guaranteed, collecting will not be allowed except for scientific or historical purposes, and the artifacts remain the permanent property of the Commonwealth. Board meetings are held on a bi-monthly basis, generally on the last Thursday of the month.
Meetings are open to the public and are usually held in Boston.
The Board welcomes your comments and encourages you to attend its meetings.
