The Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 (c. 33) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which provides protection for designated shipwrecks. Section 1 of the act provides for wrecks to be designated because of historical, archaeological or artistic value. Section 2 provides for designation of dangerous sites. Wreck sites must have a known location in order to be designated. Designated wrecks are marked on admiralty charts and their physical location is sometimes marked by means of a buoy (sea mark). Information boards are often provided at nearby launch points on land. ==Wrecks designated by virtue of historical, archaeological or artistic value== It is a criminal offence to interfere with a wreck designated under section 1 of the act without a licence. Navigation, angling and bathing are permitted provided this will not interfere with the wreck. A licence is required to dive the wreck site. Separate licences are required for any disturbance, such as recovery of artifacts or underwater excavation. Licences to survey, visit etc. can be obtained by applying online to Historic England,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Protected Wreck sites )〕 to Cadw,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maritime wrecks )〕 and Historic Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Licensing regime )〕 Anchoring on the wreck site is also not permitted except in accordance with licensed activities. The area designated may extend beyond the visible remains. Designation and licensing under section 1 of the act is managed by Historic England, Cadw and Historic Scotland. The first wreck to be designated was the Cattewater Wreck at Plymouth, in 1973. As of July 2007 there were 60 wreck sites under current protection under section 1 of the act. Two sites that had at some point been designated have subsequently been revoked. :''For a complete list see List of designations under the Protection of Wrecks Act''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Protection of Wrecks Act 1973」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
