Heritage Protection — Adriatic Coast

A narrow, island-studded sea that has carried traffic since antiquity and saw heavy 20th-century naval activity — hundreds of documented wreck sites ranging from ancient cargo vessels to WWII losses.

Underwater cultural heritage is protected under Croatia's Ministry of Culture and Media, which maintains a dedicated register of underwater archaeological sites along the coast.

What documentation covers

Full-coverage multibeam and side-scan survey of a wreck or site, captured without disturbing the seabed — combined into a single 3D record suited to a heritage authority's register, not just a client deliverable. Repeat surveys against the same baseline turn condition monitoring into a real comparison rather than an impression.

Who this is for

• Ministries of culture and national archaeology services responsible for underwater heritage in the region.
• Research institutions running a documented survey programme on a known site.
• Insurers and legal teams requiring evidentiary seabed data following a suspected unauthorized disturbance.
