The Adopt-a-wreck scheme, run by the Nautical Archaeology Society, was set up as a joint initiative with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
The scheme aims to develop a sense of ownership and stewardship for coastal and underwater cultural heritage by encouraging individuals, groups and clubs to adopt maritime sites.
Since 2003 an annual award (sponsored by PADI, SAA and BSAC) has been provided to the person or group that has made the most significant contribution to maritime archaeology and research through the adoption process.
Entries for the ‘Adopt a Wreck Award 2010’ are now invited from all participating groups. Click here for the Entry Criteria and Submission Form.
