James P. Delgado, Ph.D.
Director of Maritime Heritage in the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, NOAA
His talk will include:
The recent work of the Maritime Heritage Program, focusing on three early 19th century 4300-foot deep wrecks in the Gulf of Mexico, the 3D sonar mapping of the Civil War wreck USS Hatteras off Galveston, some 1200 deep submersible dives off Pearl Harbor, and of course, the Robert J. Walker off Atlantic City. His presentation will focus on his Department’s work and “what we do, why we do it, and how we do it, with a special emphasis on how we reach out to various partners and the public, and what the approach of no sanctuary, no permits will mean in regard to the Walker wreck.”
Lisa Symons, Resource Protection Coordinator of the Remediation of Underwater Shipwreck Threats project with the potentially polluting wrecks from National Marine Sanctuaries.
She will discuss the project and how it may affect the "Stolt Dagali".
