Abstract
Spain could be perfectly considered a leading power in underwater cultural heritage (UCH). Until very recently, Spain had not asserted its rights over Spanish UCH located in foreign or international waters. Paradoxically, the legal canvas offered by Spanish domestic legislation protecting UCH, both central and regional legislation, offers a high level of protection. Notwithstanding the inconclusive position adopted by Spain during the UNESCO negotiations, it is expected that the future attitude of the Spanish authorities regarding UCH, both political and legal, will change as a result of the ratification of the Convention by Spain on 6 June 2005. Keywords: domestic legislation; Spain; underwater cultural heritage (UCH); UNESCO Convention
