As a graduated archaeologist and Master student with the institute of Culture and Tourism I believe that there is a desperate need draw up a Maritime Cultural Policy for the safeguarding of our maritime historical, environmental and coastal heritage. A revision of Chapter 445 Cultural Heritage ACT is, i believe also necessary.
It is not just martime heritage which needs to be protected but all of our heritage, both tangible and intangible. The current administration has done some good things, but more needs to be done. It is possibly our greatest asset which has been constantly ignored by succesive governments, despite which tourists still come over to appreciate what we ignore!
