Maritime Living Heritage and the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development

English | Korean List

Description	Of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, one in particular, SDG 14 Life Below Water, encompasses the conservation and sustainable use of “the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.” To this end, UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) laid the foundation for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-30) (hereafter Decade), which is about to start its Implementation Phase. The Decade is a vital opportunity to improve focus on the ocean’s cultural heritage including intangible/indigenous/traditional culture that can be safeguarded in order to reach a sustainable future in the face of modernisation or climate change. Networks created by stakeholders focusing on Maritime Living Heritage ensure that cultural heritage can be acknowledged as a medium for engaging the public in addressing the sustainability of our coasts, seas, and oceans.

DI00000603 "Maritime Intangible Cultural Heritage: A Role within the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–30"
Cultural heritage, as defined by UNESCO, includes both diverse tangible and intan- gible cultural heritage (ICH).1 In the maritime realm—that is, connected to human activity at sea—tangible heritage includes physical material such as shipwrecks, artifacts, and submerged archaeological sites found under water and in the tidal zone. A term more commonly used is underwater cultural heritage (UCH), as defined in the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. Intangible heritage encompasses five domains where heritage is expressed and maintained through contemporary practices (“living heritage”), as defined in the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
