The regulatory framework
Developments within the Baltic and North Seas are subject to regulatory constraints regarding impacts on the marine historic environment and any potential archaeological remains.
The protection of underwater cultural heritage is enshrined in law on a broad basis, from international maritime law to EU conventions to national laws and regional regulations. This applies to all EU member states and more or less to most other countries worldwide.
In obtaining leases for offshore projects, developers must consider and mitigate the effect of their activity on potential historic resources within the project area. We prove through our investigations and expert reports that our clients are fulfilling their obligation to protect the cultural heritage under water. This offers our customers planning security for their projects. Our investigations show whether and to what extent archaeological finds are to be expected in the planning area, and we draw up concrete, data-supported proposals on how the cultural assets under water can be optimally protected with the least possible effort.
