Abstract
Gathering Information via Recreational and Technical (GIRT) Scientific Divers is a maritime archaeological conservation-focused citizen science program that commenced in mid-2018 in South Australia. GIRT enables systematic, robust data collection by members of the public and aims to give them a legitimate role in underwater cultural heritage management activities for the benefit of heritage preservation, the divers, and the public good. This chapter outlines the GIRT alignment with Australia’s adopted European principles of citizen science, the andragogical approach to training, and associated strategies to create an engaged research community and survey methodology. The chapter also includes a selection of case studies as well as anecdotal reports from cultural resource managers and participants in Australia and New Zealand to demonstrate the power of GIRT in engaging the public and delivering positive outcomes for heritage monitoring and protection. Early indications show that GIRT members are acquiring and sharing data that can inform science-based decision-making by underwater cultural heritage managers.
