A Study on the Planning of an Underwater Museum / 水下博物館規劃之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋事務與資源管理研究所 / 96 / The underwater heritage including shipwrecks is an important asset in terms of archaeology, history, education and research. With the rapid development of underwater technology, the value of shipwrecks has been attracting numerous treasure hunters to salvage or damage those heritages. In response, the United Nations passed the “Convention on the Protection of Underwater Heritage” in 2001 to urge countries to well protect their valuable assets in the sea. “In-situ preservation” principle has also been included in the Convention.
A museum is one of the major institutions for exhibition, preservation, education and research of historical heritage. By following the UN principle of “in-situ preservation”, many countries are establishing underwater museums for protecting their underwater heritage. Since Taiwan’s waters have been recognized as one of the most potential sites for shipwrecks, there is an urgent necessity to conduct related research on the protection of those underwater heritages. Based on the UN principle of “in-situ preservation”, therefore, this thesis explores the feasibility of establishing of underwater museums in Taiwan and proposes the framework for planning and managing those institutions. It is believed that the conclusions and suggestions will be of great help for Taiwan to protect its underwater heritage in the future.
