The project "Baltic History Beneath Surface: Underwater Heritage Trails in Situ and Online" aims to demonstrate the huge tourism potential of the underwater cultural heritage of the Baltic Sea by developing easy and convenient ways for visiting our unique and well preserved underwater sites in situ. The underwater landscape of the Baltic Sea is a unique ecological and cultural-historical environment resulting from the combination of a long seafaring history and good preservation conditions. The remains of shipwrecks in Estonian, Finnish and Swedish waters, are well preserved and give us an extraordinary opportunity to take a glimpse into the everyday life that froze hundreds of years ago. In this aspect, the Baltic Sea is a giant underwater museum waiting to be visited. The project will produce a new tourist attraction in the Baltic Sea that comprises of new dive trails complemented with narratives, updated dive parks and common marketing. With the development of this attraction we aim to enhance the attractiveness of the Baltic Sea and increase the number of visits to our region. The project contributes to increasing general awareness of the environment of the Baltic Sea, its unique underwater cultural heritage and good preservation conditions and the potential of the UCH when developing tourism in the region.
