Common Enforcement Manual for Heritage Crime at Sea
Project Report and Supporting Information
This report summarises the results of a project to produce a Common Enforcement Manual (CEM) for Heritage Crime at Sea. The CEM provides easy access to the substance of the regulatory framework in England and bespoke operational protocol for observation, investigation, and interdiction (if permissible) and communication with relevant organisations. This will enable improved interagency collaboration to enhance the protection of underwater cultural heritage at a marginal cost, thereby generating sustainable added value for government in protecting a valuable and threatened national resource.
The report was prepared for Historic England by Jason Lowther and Michael Williams of Plymouth University, and Beccy Austin of MSDS Marine.
