The Blue Shield UK Underwater Cultural Heritage Working Group is inviting UK-based respondents to complete a short, anonymous questionnaire on underwater cultural heritage, including its relevance to military and defence-related activities.
The survey takes 5–10 minutes.
This questionnaire aims to explore public awareness, perceptions, and attitudes toward underwater cultural heritage (UCH) in the United Kingdom. UCH includes shipwrecks, submerged landscapes, aircraft, and other remains located beneath the sea, rivers, or lakes that hold historical, cultural, or scientific significance.
The survey is part of a research initiative of the Blue Shield Underwater Cultural Heritage Working Group (UK) and seeks to understand how the public values these sites, their perceived risks, and their relevance to identity, education, and environmental protection.
Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. The questionnaire takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete. The results will contribute to developing strategies for awareness-raising, heritage protection, and public engagement in maritime and underwater heritage across the UK.
Thank you for taking the time to share your views.
