Namibia is famous for shipwrecks along the skeleton coast among other major attractions as such
the country is striving to protect this heritage ,the existing law on heritage partially protect
shipwrecks older than 35 years upon declaration by the Minister. In 2011 Namibia ratified the 2001
UNESCO convention on the protection of underwater cultural heritage. Challenges in technical and
legal integration of the convention still face the country but we look forward with great positive
optimism in protection of underwater cultural heritage in the country.
