via The Star, 26 May 2022: In recent years, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu has become a hub for underwater archaeology in Malaysia.
Underwater archaeology can become a new field of study for those interested in aquaculture and marine biotechnology.
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Centre for Research and Field Service director Assoc Prof Dr Hasrizal Shaari said shipwreck sites could be used for educational purposes.
“Training can be provided to those interested in exploring archaeological diving activities.
“We can collaborate with strategic partners such as Uzma Archaeological Research Sdn Bhd, National Heritage Department and Terengganu Museum for this purpose,” he said in Kuala Terengganu.
