Rising sea levels and ocean acidification can erode protective layers on shipwrecks, especially those made of iron.

Storm surges and violent weather can tear wrecks apart, exposing delicate artifacts and cannons to the damaging force of wind and water.

Many sunken ships, particularly those from the World War 2 era , could still contain dangerous substances like oil and chemical weapons.

As wrecks corrode, these materials could be released into the environment faster, creating the potential release of harmful substances.

Florida Public Archaeology Network FAN encourages recreational divers to contribute to archaeological research.

Divers can fill out waterproof forms during their dives to report on various underwater sites.

These forms help document climate impacts, such as changes in sediment buildup or shifts in marine life, as well as other threats like looting or vandalism.
