The Maritime Heritage at Risk Program aims to focus attention on Victoria’s fragile underwater cultural heritage by protecting Victoria’s most significant shipwrecks and aircraft wrecks at the greatest risk.
The program assesses Underwater Cultural Heritage according to significance, community value and wreck condition. Based on this assessment the most important at-risk wrecks are included in a Risk Register.
These vulnerable wrecks are regularly monitored to safeguard them from environmental and human impacts. Data is also collected on their current and potential future risks to facilitate risk management activities.
