Abstract

On 1–2 November 2021, the National Taiwan Ocean University's Center of Excellence for the Oceans hosted the Fourth Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Underwater Cultural Heritage (APConf). Approximately 300 archaeologists, academics, heritage managers, marine scientists, consultants, practitioners, policymakers and students from 33 jurisdictions gathered online and in-person to showcase results of the latest underwater cultural heritage field investigation, protection and management research, together with new trends and techniques, conservation and restoration practices from around the region. There were five opening addresses, two keynote speeches, two short promotional videos, and 63 papers, yet the conference closed with no tangible marine policy outcomes. In response, Dalian Maritime University launched a new Asian Regional Underwater Cultural Heritage Project to address the policy gaps.
