Title

Consulting companies as a bridge between maritime spatial planning and underwater cultural heritage stakeholders

Description

Port and harbour developments, marine wind farms or submarine pipelines and cables are all part of an increasing demand for ocean resources with consequences for the preservation of underwater cultural heritage: identifying and assessing potential impacts to minimise risks is essential.

Consulting companies provide services for development of these maritime and marine infrastructures and they are the key link between the constructors constrain budget and time, and cultural heritage stakeholders who want to preserve as much as possible in the best conditions.

This paper will offer the point of view of marine consultancies as advocates of underwater cultural heritage in the Marine Spatial Planning process. These companies have to potential to create synergies between different activities in the seas, protecting the environment but encouraging the investment. It offers new challenges and opportunities for the safeguarding of this heritage, protecting it but opening the door to businesses contribution and people willing to take a financial risk.
