ALSF Wrecks on the Seabed

Wrecks on the Seabed title graphic

The Wrecks on the Seabed project tests and develops ways of assessing, evaluating and recording wreck sites. 

The aim is to find the best way of dealing with shipwrecks at risk from dredging or other marine commercial activities.

The project is funded by the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF), distributed by English Heritage (EH).

On the following pages you can find out about the different sections of the project relating to diving, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)surveys of shallow wrecks and deep wrecks and geophysical survey methods.

You can also find out about the 14 wrecks that we have surveyed or dived on. These are mainly of 19th and 20th century date. They lie off the south coast of England.
