The Ocean's Past is Our Future - Cultural Heritage in the UN Ocean Decade

Discover the rich cultural heritage of the ocean and its profound impact on human history. Coastal societies have developed unique traditions and ways of life closely connected to the sea, shaping trade, exploration, and maritime law.

Explore the significance of coastal and underwater cultural heritage in providing valuable insights into past societies, their relationship with the ocean, and the management of marine resources. Submerged ports, shipwrecks, and prehistoric landscapes beneath the waves offer a wealth of knowledge about our collective memory and the challenges of climate change.

Learn how studying cultural heritage not only enriches our understanding of the past, but also contributes to community building, identity formation, and awareness of sea-level rise and climatic change. By reconnecting to our oceanic roots, we can foster a deeper appreciation and sustainable stewardship of our marine environments.

Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the captivating world of our ocean's cultural heritage. Join us for an inspiring journey that connects the past with the present and shapes our future.

Mark your calendars and be part of this exciting event! Lunch will be provided.
