What if I witness another diver removing parts from a Coast Guard wreck?
If you witness the theft of material from a Coast Guard wreck, report it to the U.S. Coast Guard and to your State Historic Preservation Officer or State Underwater Archaeologist. Vandalism of U.S. Government property is not only illegal but inconsiderate to other divers. If theft or destruction is unreported, underwater sites will soon be destroyed and unavailable for future use.
