Scope and Content This document presents the results of the investigation into methods for monitoring of marine heritage sites, using the remains of the Imperial German Navy (scuttled 1919) in Scapa Flow, Orkney as a case study. Using the baseline bathymetric survey in 2001, videography, and a repeat bathymetric and volumetric survey in 2006, it illustrates the requirements for such surveys over and above normal hydrographic protocols and outline strategies for effective imaging of large wrecks. Best practices for manipulation of such data (including processing and visualization) are outlined, and it draws the distinction between products for scientific investigation and those for outreach and education, which have very different requirements. It then describes the use of backscatter and volumetric acoustic data in the investigation of wrecks, focusing on the extra information to be gained from them that is not evident in the traditional bathymetric DTM models or sounding point-cloud representations of data. A comparison of the 2001 and 2006 data is also undertaken.
