Title
Community Driven Marine Archaeology: NOAA Ocean Exploration Operations in the Pacific Basin 2024-2026
Description
With priority placed on the exploration of deep waters, NOAA Ocean Exploration applies the latest tools
and technologies to explore previously unknown areas of the ocean, making discoveries of scientific,
economic, and cultural value. As both a valuable cultural resource and habitat for marine organisms, NOAA
Ocean Exploration’s priorities include maritime archaeology and the discovery of our underwater cultural
heritage (UCH). Between 2024 and 2026, NOAA Ocean Exploration and partners will conduct exploratory
seafloor mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) explorations in the Pacific basin. This article details
the tools, technologies, and typical datasets collected by our program and opportunities for the Asia-Pacific
community of archaeologists, historians, and resource managers to contribute to our UCH research
prioritization and participate in our live, publicly accessible telepresence-enabled operations. Using this
community-driven archaeology model, we ensure this exploratory work will have the greatest impact and
provide a publicly accessible platform for sharing our common cultural heritage.
