Les épaves de l’estran : un patrimoine exceptionnel, une gestion complexe !

Abstract

Neglected for a long time by maritime archaeologists, intertidal shipwrecks, threatened by erosion and winter storms, now arouse a new interest. Recent evaluations, surveys and excavations lead by DRASSM reveal new scientific questions but also difficulties to overcome to determine a research politic on intertidal wrecks.
