understanding of the number and extend of
the resource. The creation of a national
wreck database is needed so the heritage
management can gain a realistic idea of the
number of wrecks around Iceland. Such a
database would also make it easier to
manage and monitor the resource and
facilitate research on submerged sites.
The results of this preliminary research
is encouraging and show clearly the need
for further research, especially underwater
survey. The next phase of this research is
to continue survey around trading sites,
whaling sites and other selected sites to
collect data on the extent and the condition
of archaeology underwater. Further
research is also aimed at collecting
environmental data, oxygen saturation,
salinity, etc. in the fjords around Vestfirðir
and finally the aim is to select a site for
survey and excavation.
