Abstract
Sendo o arquipélago dos Açores um dos palcos pioneiros da arqueologia subaquática, em contexto nacional, a ilha do Faial foi uma das mais intervencionadas, nesse âmbito, ao longo das últimas duas décadas, tendo produzido importantes contributos para o estudo das embarcações da Época Moderna que por ali passaram. Recentemente, esforços conjuntos entre as entidades institucionais e investigadores de instituições académicas permitiram estabelecer novas estratégias de promoção desse património cultural subaquático, e enquadrá-lo numa rede de valorização internacional, que beneficia a sua proteção e a sua ativação, enquanto ferramenta de crescimento socioeconómico da Região. Propõe-se, presentemente, apresentar esses desenvolvimentos e deixar alguns contributos para o estudo e gestão do património cultural subaquático em Portugal.
