The spectacle of archaeology stirs the public interest like few
other topics. Sowing the detective story, finding the missing
pieces of the puzzle, understanding an instilled sense of identity,
making connections to the material culture, following the global
discourse on heritage protection and conservation (i.e. the Elgin
Marbles) are all part of the nexus of cultural values that define
the meaning of archaeology to individuals and to the public at
large. Along with the debates, archaeological sites are also often
in view of the public - on land, as well as, underwater. Maritime
cultural resources encompass sites that, because of their (often)
proximity to urban or traveled areas (harbors, rivers, ports) are
easily damaged but not easily visible. This leads to special
challenges to site management regarding conservation, protection,
and enforcement of legal mandates for public education outreach and
interpretation. The editors have brought together state of the art
ideas, research and scholarship associated with maritime public
education and interpretation. interpretation of maritime and
submerged cultural resources, this edited volume will add to a
limited body of knowledge in a field that is steadily growing.
