Ali Badawi of Lebanon's Directorate General of Antiquities acknowledges that underwater archaeological sites remain insufficiently protected but that authorities are conducting surveys and developing laws to ensure safety. Officials want to expand underwater tourism, including creation of underwater archaeological parks.
“They're not very well protected. But we are trying very hard through surveys and research that we're conducting, and we're trying to develop laws to ensure their safety in the future.”
