The representatives of the DEGUWA reported in a seminar paper with the title Year One after Ratification. The situation in Germany and the input of NGOs. about the engagement of the DEGUWA for the underwater cultural heritage protection for future generations and the state of the realisation of the UNESCO convention in Germany. The contribution caused a lively discussion in the lecture hall. On this occasion the topic was, about the question for which reasons Germany has not yet signed the convention after eight years as a leading land in the European community and as a significant cultural nation. The ratification through the federal republic would give a signal for many other lands to move the convention faster in national law.
