On 1-2 December 2023, Dalian Maritime University is hosting the 3rd Asian Regional Workshop on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage in Dalian.
Held in Asia, by Asia, for Asia, the first two workshops invited high-level government officials, experienced policy-makers, preeminent practitioners, and influential academics from 22 Asian jurisdictions to examine how each nation, and the region as a whole, is working toward the protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage through legislative, policy and practical responses. The workshops considered the challenges to robust UCH protection in the region.
Additionally, UNESCO and INTERPOL spoke about possible ‘universal’ solutions, and the group discussed how we might mitigate future impacts through intra-regional cooperation.
One of the most pressing challenges is the protection of underwater cultural heritage in Asia’s international waters.
This is not limited to the wholesale salvage of war-time of shipwrecks, such as HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse, for their (low-background) steel or the commercial exploitation of ancient shipwrecks for their prized porcelains. It’s a multi-faceted issue that current regimes and approaches are not adequately addressing. Hence the immediate need to find a new way forward.
If you are, or know, an Asian expert in International Law, Maritime Law, and Cultural Heritage Law, Ocean Governance, and Marine Policy, Cultural Diplomacy, Resource Management and have a deep understanding of and significant experience working with this issue, we would like to hear from you!
Why? We are seeking a keynote on this topic at our in-person workshop in Dalian (中国大连市) this December. The keynote should be from the region and someone who is committed to engaging with the issue/working group beyond this one workshop.

Position Overview:
The mission of the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) Office of Port Infrastructure Development is to improve the maritime transportation system, including ports, through investment, integration, and innovation to meet the current and future needs of the Nation.
To that end, the Office of Port Infrastructure Development manages the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP). The PIDP is a discretionary grant program that provides Federal financial assistance to ports across the country to improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of the movement of goods through ports or intermodal connections to those ports. These improvements are typically derived from large scale infrastructure construction projects at ports and maritime terminals or related intermodal facilities.
PIDP grants support efforts by ports and industry stakeholders to improve port and related freight infrastructure to meet the nation’s freight transportation needs and ensure our port infrastructure can meet anticipated growth in freight volumes. The PIDP provides funding to ports in both urban and rural areas for planning and capital projects. It also includes a statutory set-aside for small ports to continue to improve and expand their capacity to move freight reliably and efficiently and support local and regional economies.

A New Program for Alaska’s Maritime Heritage Preservation
To preserve and interpret Alaska’s rich maritime heritage the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the State Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LAM) announce the launch of the Alaska Maritime Heritage Preservation Program. This program is designed to protect Alaska’s maritime resources and advance public awareness of Alaska’s nationally significant maritime properties, collections, traditional skills, and knowledge.
Alaska Maritime Heritage Preservation Program goals:
Building a network of statewide partners dedicated to preserving Alaska’s rich maritime heritage and increasing public appreciation for Alaskans’ long and multifaceted relationship to the water.
Continuing support and resources for projects that identify, document, and interpret Alaska’s maritime resources, such as historic, cultural, and archaeological properties, archival documents, oral history, folklore, and traditional lifeways.
Increasing the visibility of Alaska’s maritime past (and present) by preserving and interpreting archaeological and historical properties and maritime cultural landscapes along Alaska’s vast coastline.
Sharing the stories of Alaska’s longstanding human history that left a legacy of tangible maritime heritage and a diverse, yet often underrepresented, maritime culture.
Encouraging the protection of Alaska maritime physical resources, collections, and seafaring and ecological knowledge to enhance understanding of Alaska’s maritime legacy and lessons learned for future generations.
New Program New Opportunities The Alaska Maritime Heritage Preservation Program will offer Alaskans two new grant opportunities for preservation and education projects. Of the total $342,500 federal award, $15,000 will support in-house projects at the Alaska State Museum. The remaining $327,500 will be subgranted to support preservation and education projects statewide. The in-house and subgrant programs will empower communities to safeguard and share a maritime heritage associated with their unique region, culture, and lifeways.
Who Can Apply The new competitive grant program will provide support, expertise, and resources to state governments, cultural and academic institutions, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, local governments, individuals, and Tribes throughout Alaska’s varied geographic and cultural regions.
Minimum and Maximum Grant Awards Applicants for preservation grants can request from $10,000 to $50,000 and applications for education grants can request from $5,000 to $50,000. The SHPO anticipates $100,000 in available funds for preservation projects and $227,500 for education projects.
Matching Requirement Yes. Both the preservation and education grants are 1:1 matching requirements. Each federal dollar must be matched by one non-federal dollar. Match may be in the form of cash or in-kind donations of time, goods, or services. So, a grant proposal for $10,000 must support a $20,000 project.
When to Apply The SHPO will accept maritime preservation and education grant applications from August 1, 2023, to November 1, 2023. Projects should be ready to commence by February 1, 2024, and be completed by September 30, 2025.
Alaska Maritime Heritage Preservation Grants The Program’s Preservation grants are for projects that advance Alaska’s maritime heritage through public education for a wide audience and at least one of the following elements:
1) Identify, document, and evaluate archaeological and historic marine resources; 2) Research, record, and plan for marine resource preservation; 3) Acquire historic marine properties for preservation purposes; or 4) Repair, rehabilitate, stabilize, or maintain historic maritime resources with limited reconstruction or other capital improvements per the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation and Standards for Historic Vessel Preservation Projects.
Eligible project examples include but are not limited to surveys that identify localized marine resources, National Register nominations, feasibility studies, architectural and engineering services, and acquisition of marine resources for preservation purposes.
To learn more about Alaska’s Maritime Preservation Grant, contact: State Historian Katie Ringsmuth at katie.ringsmuth@alaska.gov.
Alaska Maritime Heritage Education Grants The Program’s Education grants are for projects that advance Alaska’s maritime heritage through public education and at least one of the following elements:
1) curation, interpretation, and public access to collections; 2) Planning, developing, interpreting, and maintaining definable geographic areas encompassing one or more cultural and historic themes expressed through the area’s remaining historic maritime properties; 3) Developing and implementing waterborne-experience programs that include instruction and hands-on participation; 4) Participatory programs interpreting current scholarship to enhance public understanding and appreciation of Alaska maritime history; 5) Activities designed to encourage preserving traditional maritime skills and teach continuing generations those skills, techniques, and methodologies, or 6) minor improvements to existing educational facilities and exhibit spaces of maritime museums, organizations, or historical societies.
Eligible project examples include but are not limited to participatory archaeology, treatment of and access to maritime collections, interpretive signage, walking tours, podcasts, oral histories, story maps, exhibitions, lecture series, poetry readings, storytelling, public demonstrations, shipwright workshops, art classes, sea shanties, and minor improvements to existing educational facilities and exhibit spaces.
