We believe that the proposed surveys will provide important knowledge and information critical to understanding, and ultimately preserving, the underwater cultural heritage of this historically significant place in the Arctic, and will offer considerable value to others who share an interest in and a desire to know more about this place and its natural and cultural resources. Ultimately, it may also produce essential information about this area that can help to establish the criteria for what places in the marine environment we, as a society, choose to protect and preserve in the Arctic and elsewhere in the US EEZ.
