Who Manages Florida's Underwater Archaeological Sites?

What is Underwater Archaeology?

Underwater archaeology, also known as marine, maritime, or nautical archaeology, involves the study of human history through submerged sites. While shipwrecks are the most common sites explored, archaeologists also investigate harbors, docks, fishing structures, and even flooded land sites. Unlike land-based archaeologists who use trucks and other vehicles to reach their excavation sites, underwater archaeologists rely on scuba gear to access these watery locations.

Like terrestrial archaeology, underwater archaeology is a subfield of anthropology — the science of studying humankind. Ultimately, the goal remains the same: to understand and preserve our shared history.

With its expansive coastline and numerous lakes, rivers, and springs, Florida offers countless opportunities for underwater archaeological exploration, making it a prime location to study and uncover the secrets of the past beneath the water’s surface.
