The CMA hosts a team of specialists who undertake research into ancient shipwrecks of Roman and Medieval trade, they explore ports and harbours within and beyond the Mediterranean shores, along the Red Sea coast and within the Indian Ocean. They investigate submerged landscapes and deploy the latest remote sensing survey equipment to interrogate the sea floor.
