Examples and strategies for partneringwith volunteers in maritime heritage research

     Thisvolume is the first to address the ways maritime archaeologists have engagedcitizen scientists, presenting examples of projects and organizations that haveinvolved volunteers in the important work of gathering and processing data.With a special focus on program development and sustainability, these practicalcase studies provide reference points for archaeologists looking to designtheir own citizen science projects.

     In these essays, contributors describe initiatives such as theDiver-Archaeological Reconnaissance Cooperative (DivARC), which involves combatveterans in meaningful research missions; Diving With a Purpose, which trains adultsand youth in documenting and preserving African slave trade shipwrecks; and classroomeducation that encourages high school students to develop an interest in thefield. Asvolunteers learn the scope, goals, and outcomes of their research, thesestudies show, they are empowered to become active participants—and truepartners—in scientific inquiry.

     Throughoutthe wide range of experiences represented here, the chapter authors discuss challengesthey encountered as well as ideas for optimizing future projects and strategiesfor welcoming diverse communities to this work. Arguing that these initiativeswill create space for public engagement in heritage research, management, andpreservation, Citizen Science inMaritime Archaeology serves as afoundation for discussion of this goal.

A global array of case studies demonstrating practices for preserving the maritime cultural heritage of vulnerable shipwrecks  

Shipwreck sites in intertidal zones—the parts of shorelines that are exposed at low tide and covered at high tide—are located within dynamic environments. Periodically uncovered and reburied, these stranded vessels are affected by surf and currents that accelerate the decay of their remains, and their materials are often salvaged. This volume presents 17 case studies from 9 countries on the management of intertidal shipwrecks and strategies for conservation, archaeological research, and public outreach focused on such sites.



These case studies explore topics such as legislation protecting shipwrecks along the Pacific coast of New Zealand, the ways wreck sites in Germany’s North Sea coastline are safeguarded and studied, local community participation in the preservation of shipwrecks along the Patagonian Atlantic coast, and the effects of climate change on sites along the Potomac River in Maryland. Pioneering intertidal resource managers discuss innovative strategies for preventing damage to ships and losses to local maritime heritage. The first volume to examine these sites at varying scales across the globe, Intertidal Shipwrecks is an important resource as climate impacts increase and the role of citizen science programs becomes more significant.
