Brief Description of the Project
The project aims to research and promote the historical value and preservation of Hong Kong’s underwater heritage. Stage I of the project involves compiling an interactive underwater heritage database using existing databases and related information in order to show the locations of shipwrecks and other underwater heritage sites. The database is developed and integrated into the HKUHG website.
