The annual consortium meeting for the ENDURE project was held in January at the National Museum , bringing together project partners and a small group of external collaborators to review progress and discuss the way forward. The meeting provided an opportunity to bring together the project’s many academic strands and establish a shared direction for the coming year. Participants presented recent results and discussed both methodological challenges and new opportunities for co

ENDURE recently hosted an international workshop bringing together experts from England, Estonia, Finland, and Denmark, with a focus on corrosion of metal shipwrecks and the growing challenges associated with so-called potentially polluting wrecks . Many wrecks — including several from the Second World War — are increasingly deteriorating, which raises the risk of oil leaks and thus poses a potential environmental threat to our waters. The workshop gathered researchers and s

As part of the ENDURE project, we’ve published new research in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology examining how underwater cultural heritage (UCH) intersects with deep-sea mining and bottom-contact fishing. Our key message is a practical one: Risks to underwater cultural heritage are real, but they are largely manageable when addressed early and systematically. The paper shows that: Many impacts can be avoided through early seabed assessment and planning Tools
