Underwater videography and photography in Gulf of Kachchh. Sponsored by Gujarat Ecological Society, Vadodara, Gujarat

Abstract

Marine Archaeology Centre (MAC) has been carrying out underwater explorations and excavations of ancient ports and sunken shipwrecks to preserve underwater cultural heritage. MAC has the infrastructure facility to carry out underwater investigations and documentation down to 25 m which is occasionally also used for other academic and non-academic purposes. The centre has carried out underwater investigations for videography to check the underwater pipeline condition or a dam / bridge site. Such investigations, though not directly useful for marine archaeology purpose, they do impart good lessons to work differently for different purpose in varying environments.
