Heritage Protection — Aegean Sea

One of the highest densities of documented ancient shipwrecks anywhere in the Mediterranean, spanning millennia of trade routes between the Aegean islands and the mainland.

Underwater sites fall under Greece's Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities, part of the Ministry of Culture — the national authority responsible for survey, protection, and licensing of underwater archaeological work.

What documentation covers

Full-coverage multibeam and side-scan survey of a wreck or site, captured without disturbing the seabed — combined into a single 3D record suited to a heritage authority's register, not just a client deliverable. Repeat surveys against the same baseline turn condition monitoring into a real comparison rather than an impression.

Who this is for

• Ministries of culture and national archaeology services responsible for underwater heritage in the region.
• Research institutions running a documented survey programme on a known site.
• Insurers and legal teams requiring evidentiary seabed data following a suspected unauthorized disturbance.
