The diversity of England's Protected Wreck Sites reflects the
wealth of maritime heritage preserved under the sea and around our
coast. These sites provide a valuable source of evidence for a wide
range of past activities, and not just of those on or in the sea.
These guidelines are intended to support individuals or groups
wishing to access and/or develop projects on wreck sites designated
under Section 1 of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 in the English
Territorial Sea. The role of a voluntary Licensee and his or her
team is essential to the system that helps manage the most
significant historic wrecks in our territorial sea. As Licensees
are effectively voluntary custodians for these important sites;
this has been recognised by Historic England awarding Affiliated
Volunteer Status to Licensees and their teams. This guidance has
been updated to reflect changes to the way the protected wreck
licensing system is administered, recognise the Marine and Coastal
Access Act 2009 and publication of the UK Marine Policy Statement
in 2011. The guidance forms the approach recommended for work on
all historic wreck sites in England, not just those designated
under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.
