Abstract

The aim of this project is to analyse the state of the Spanish floating maritime heritage and the causes which have led to the current situation: the deliberately sinking of ships, exports to foreign countries, fisheries structural policies and the lack of social and political awareness towards the conservation of the maritime heritage. A short international vision allows the reader to know how conservacionist movements have benn carried out in countries with a similar maritime vocation as Spain. Furthermore, an analysis of the European, national and regional regulatory frameworks governing floating maritime heritage is carried out, with a particular emphasis on the recent project "Reglamento de buques y embarcaciones históricas y sus reproducciones singulares". Lastly, various elements of maritime heritage existing in the islands of Ibiza and Formentera are listed and a file card is proposed for the inventary of traditionals boats.
