valuable collection of historical, and cultural importance submerged beneath
Malaysia’s coastal waters. This paper comprehensively reviews the preservation

heritage. Malaysia has a vast coastline and a significant historical background in the
maritime trade, resulting in a wide range of submerged archaeological sites dating
back several centuries. Furthermore, the paper discusses the terms of maritime
archaeology and underwater cultural heritage, the element of the term underwater
cultural heritage, the law in Malaysia related to underwater cultural heritage, and
the process of excavation of shipwrecks also artifacts in Malaysia's Waters. This
review seeks to educate policymakers, academicians, researchers, and heritage
practitioners about the significance of conserving Malaysia’s maritime archaeology
and underwater cultural heritage by combining the existing research and practical
experiences. It promotes increased awareness, funding, and coordinated actions to
protect these invaluable connections to Malaysia’s maritime history for future
generations. |
