Marine Aggregates and Archaeology: a Golden Harvest?

Abstract

The Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) was introduced by the United Kingdom Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as a two-year pilot scheme in April 2002. It is now expected to end in 2011. Since its inception, the marine part of the ALSF programme has delivered great benefits to the community because it has recognized that the baseline information to promote effective management of marine historic and natural environment resources is relatively poor, and the intrusive nature of marine aggregate extraction can represent a potential impact to heritage assets. This paper discusses the research undertaken under the behest of the ALSF in the UK, specifically in the marine historic environment, and how different marine environment stakeholders have been involved in this process of research, management and outreach to the benefit of all communities.
