Description:
The sea around Okinawa, which is a jurisdiction of the 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, is warm, highly transparent and rich with coral reefs. Marine activities, such as diving and snorkeling, are very active throughout the year, while there are many underwater cultural heritages and properties found in the sea area of Okinawa. However, these underwater cultural heritages and properties are not known very well in general. In this report, we review a possibility to register the underwater cultural heritages and properties of Okinawa into the Marine Cadastre database operated by Japan Coast Guard in order to contribute to the protection of the underwater cultural heritages and properties.
