Subject: Seafarer's Quest Exploration Permit Seafarers Quest received a 1-31 Exploration Permit. It does not allow for salvage or selling of artifacts, only investigation of targets located by remote sensing instruments. Issuance of an exploration permit does not guarantee future issuance of a recovery permit. If exploratory digging is required, additional permits from the Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be required. Under supervision of the permitee’s archaeologist, remote sensing targets will be investigated and evaluated. The permit allows for minimal recovery of diagnostic artifact to accomplish this, but these materials remain in public ownership. Interim written reports by the archaeologist are sent to this agency for review and evaluation. After completion of this work (the permit is for three years), the permittee may apply for a Recovery Permit, which carries archaeological guidelines and requirements for treatment and conservation of artifacts, which may periodically be divided between the permittee and this agency.
