The Advanced Training Course on In Situ Preservation was the last training course in the series of the training courses under the Norway-funded Project "Safeguarding Underwater Cultural Heritage in Asia and the Pacific" (2009-2011).
The course enables regional trainees to acquire hands-on experience in conducting site preservation using In Situ concept and methodology in which the originality of the wreck site is the priority. The course was facilitated by two experts from the Netherlands and Denmark, initiating the development on necessary skills in utilising local materials in preparing Geotextiles and debris nets as well as data collection on threats and environment, site monitoring and protection analyses.
