NAS (Nautical Archaeology Society)

The NAS is dedicated to advancing education in nautical archaeology at all levels; to improving techniques in recording, preservation and reporting and to encouraging the participation of members of the public at all stages. The Nautical Archaeology Society is a non-government organisation formed to further interest in our under-water cultural heritage. NAS is a registered charity based in the United Kingdom, but with strong links to partner organisations around the world. NAS aims to preserve our archaeological heritage in the marine environment, by acting as a focus for coastal and marine archaeology. To do this NAS needs to involve everyone- divers and non-divers, scientists, historians and anyone with an interest. Our underwater heritage is not renewable, and is at constant threat from natural and human agencies.
