Relevant state laws include the South Carolina Underwater Antiquities Act of 1991 codified in Title 54, Chapter 7, Section 610, et seq., of the South Carolina Code of Laws and laws about the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology codified in Title 60, Chapter 13, Section 210, et seq. These laws emphasize that submerged archeological sites are a nonrenewable and finite resource, and that their conservation and preservation is of the highest priority to the state.
