Protecting cultural heritage resources

Our marine cultural heritage is the story of our nation’s cultural connections to the sea. This includes the places and resources used by native American cultures to sustain themselves as well as the shipwrecks and other remnants of our nation’s long history with the sea. Many traditional cultures live near oceans and Great Lakes. These water supplied resources for making medicines, jewellery, provided for clothing and trading as well as food for sustenance.
That was a way of my ancestors. They lived off of the ocean. That’s their home estate to care of it. They only ate what was given to them, what was provided, they never took more. Our money, the ancestors’ money was made from shells. Even a small shell had a lot of value.
