THREATS TO OUR OCEAN HERITAGE POTENTIALLY POLLU...

This open access volume focuses on the environmental hazards and cultural significance of
Potentially Polluting Wrecks (PPWs)  and how mitigation efforts have assisted in documenting
and preserving the history of these sites. It is an important resource on the subject of
Potentially Polluting Wrecks that synthesizes previously published information that was not
academically or scientifically produced. This includes numerous international studies of
shipwreck databases and threats posed by world war wrecks containing oil and other hazardous
materials that could spill. This book evaluates these materials and presents new analyses and
investigations with modern technology that assist in locating  documenting  and remediating
polluting wreck sites. Consequently  this volume calls for increased ocean exploration missions
to locate sunken merchant vessels that may pose pollution hazards and site assessments to
determine any potential risks. This book is of interest to government officials  educators 
archaeologists and practitioners working in the field of underwater archaeology. This is an
open access book.
