Resumen

Underwater Cultural Heritage has great potential to promote the education, well-being, and economic development of local communities. However, community participation in its preservation and dissemination is limited and is tied to public awareness and responsible scientific research. Only a well-protected heritage has the potential to offer significant public benefits. Therefore, initiatives involving organizations, academic networks, and the local community, as well as collaboration with the global diving community, can strengthen the sense of shared responsibility for protecting these sites. This article addresses these key issues for the future of the world’s Underwater Cultural Heritage.
