Our Marine Historic Environment: Enhancing the National Monument Record

The overall aim of this project is to compare the wreck data maintained by the National Monuments Record (NMR) and United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) datasets and, where applicable, suggest solutions as to how any discrepancies should be overcome. This project supports the work undertaken by the NMR in relation to finds reported through the EH-British Marine Aggregate Producers Association (BMAPA) Protocol for Reporting Finds of Archaeological Interest. Importantly, it will enable better informed licensing processes and facilitate a greater understanding of the data required to support UK Government priorities such as marine spatial planning.
