Abstract
What is the value of a shipwreck? Who owns shipwrecks in public waters, and who controls access to them? What type of access is reasonable? These issues have been evolving for Lake Champlain through the development of the Lake Champlain Underwater Historic Preserve Program during the past fifteen years. This underwater museum environment has proven to be an ideal testing ground for demonstrating how the archaeological community and sport divers can work together to ensure the preservation of submerged cultural resources in Lake Champlain.
