Cover Story: Ancient, WWI, WWII and more recent shipwrecks in the inner Ionian Sea (Greece) were systematically studied using marine remote sensing and ground truthing techniques. The marine remote sensing sensors include side scan sonars, sub-bottom profilers and multi-beam echo-sounders. At each wreck site, the condition of the wreck and the surrounding environment, the debris field and human-made activities were determined based mainly on acoustic data. The history of each wreck was also briefly documented. The marine remote sensing survey showed that there is an immediate need for a shipwreck protection framework in the inner Ionian Sea as human-made activities (e.g., fishing) threaten their integrity.
