Integrating the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage into Marine Policy, for the Sustainable Development of the Ocean

在我的硕士论文中，我以前的工作通过以下方式对英国和保加利亚保护、保存和管理水下遗产的各种方法进行了描述和分类：确定在国际公认的最佳做法方面缺乏的地方;确定一种多学科的方法，既普遍适用，又能提供更有效的保护。我的博士学位旨在通过以下方式从这项工作中获益：- 对全球水下文化遗产管理系统进行更专业和更有见地的研究（在巴黎教科文组织2001年《保护水下文化遗产公约》秘书处的协助下）-利用这一知识创建并可能根据行业标准应用海洋遗产综合管理模板，以解决这些已确定的问题-创建一个可供所有海洋资产利益攸关方访问的综合、多学科全球数据库，旨在收集、分析和传播实时信息，以便更好地保护，管理和传播水下资产。到2050年，人口预计将达到100亿。由于人口不断增长，围绕世界水下资产的保护，包括遗产、鱼类种群、生物多样性和海洋生态，出现了一些明确的社会、环境和经济问题。由于气候变化和海平面上升等各种全球威胁，此类水下资产的管理至关重要且复杂。与此相关，海洋空间对各种行业，如可再生能源，土地扩张，渔业，海上石油和各种其他人力资源变得越来越有价值。正如在水下环境中工作的各个学科所证明的那样，显然迫切需要努力更好地保护世界的水下资产。尽管如此，正如上述硕士论文所指出的那样，存在各种不一致且往往无效的管理系统，这些系统缺乏沟通，特别是在海洋部门工作的不同学科和行业之间缺乏整合。通过在教科文组织2001年公约秘书处内工作，将从多个角度对该行业有独特的了解。通过对这样一个全球性遗产管理组织的专业了解，可以利用对以往、当前和未来管理成功和失败的了解来创建一个更有效的综合管理模板和数据库系统，而目前还没有这样的模板和数据库系统。大量学术论文表明，要成功地管理我们的海洋，就必须建立一个更有效的综合管理系统。然而，学术界对建立和实施这一制度的途径知之甚少。该博士旨在根据世界各地海洋管理系统的当前优势和劣势创建一个单一资源，该资源将：a）提供对海洋空间管理复杂性的理解和详细分析b）创建一个系统的、综合的水下资源管理模板，并运行一个测试期以评估成功c）创建一个综合数据库系统，分析和共享来自所有海洋行业和学科的数据，旨在教育，预测和帮助有效管理海洋空间

The previous work in my masters dissertation characterised and classified the various approaches taken to the protection, conservation and management of underwater heritage in the UK and Bulgaria, through: identifying where they are lacking with respect to internationally accepted best practices; identifying a multidisciplinary approach that would be both generally applicable and offer more efficient and effective protection. My PhD aims to build on from this work through:- a more specialised and informed study of underwater cultural heritage management systems globally (aided by working with the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage Secretariat in Paris)- using this knowledge to create and potentially apply an integrated marine heritage management template to industry standards that addresses these identified issues- creating an integrated, multidisciplinary global database accessible to all marine asset stakeholders which aims to collect, analyse and distribute live information, with the aim to better conserve, manage and propagate underwater assets.The human population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Due to the increasing population there have been a number of defining social, environmental and economical issues surrounding the conservation of the world's underwater assets including heritage, fish stocks, biodiversity and marine ecology. The management of underwater assets such as these is critical and complex due to various global threats such as climate change and rising sea levels. In relation to this, the ocean space is becoming more valuable to various industries such as renewable energy, land expansion, fishing, offshore oil, and various other human resources. There is clear urgency in working towards better conserving the world's underwater assets, as has been documented throughout various disciplines that work within the underwater environment. In despite of this, as indicated in the aforementioned masters dissertation, there are various inconsistent and often ineffective management systems that lack communication and particularly integration throughout the different disciplines and industries that work within the ocean sector. By working within the UNESCO 2001 Convention secretariat, a unique understanding of the industry from multiple perspectives will be achieved. Through gaining a professional understanding of a globally active heritage management organization such as this, knowledge of previous, current and future management successes and failures may be utilized to create a more effective integrated management template and database system - of which none currently exist. There is a proliferation of academic papers suggesting that a more effective integrated management system is crucially necessary to successfully manage our oceans. However, there is limited academic knowledge on the pathways to establishment and implementation of such a system. This PhD aims to create a single resource based on the current advantages and disadvantages of ocean management systems around the world which will: a) provide an understanding and detailed analysis of the complexities of ocean space managementb) create a systematic, integrated underwater resource management template and run a testing period to assess successc) create an integrated database system which acts to store, analyse and share data from all ocean based industries and disciplines with an aim to educate, predict and aid in the effective management of the ocean space
