Maritime cultural heritage is under increasing threat around the world, facing damage, destruction, and disappearance. Despite attempts to mitigate these threats, maritime cultural heritage is often not addressed to the same extent or with equal resources. One approach that can be applied towards protecting and conserving threatened cultural heritage, and closing this gap, is capacity development. This paper addresses the question of how capacity development can be improved and adapted for the protection of maritime cultural heritage under threat. It asserts that capacity development for maritime cultural heritage can be improved by gaining a more comprehensive and structured understanding of capacity development initiatives through applying a consistent framework for evaluation and analysis. This allows for assessment and reflection on previous or ongoing initiatives, leading to the implementation of more effective initiatives in the future. In order to do this, a model for classifying initiatives by ten parameters is proposed. It is then applied to a number of case studies featuring initiatives in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This is followed by a discussion of how conclusions and themes drawn from the examination and evaluation of the case study initiatives can provide a deeper understanding of capacity development efforts, and an analysis of how the parameter model as a framework can aid in improving capacity development for threatened maritime cultural heritage overall.

通过评估参数框架提高受威胁海洋和海洋文化遗产的能力开发

海洋文化遗产在世界范围内受到越来越大的威胁，面临着破坏、破坏和消失。尽管试图减轻这些威胁，但海洋文化遗产往往得不到同等程度或同等资源的处理。可用于保护和保存受威胁的文化遗产并缩小这一差距的一种方法是能力发展。本文讨论了如何改进和调整能力发展以保护受到威胁的海洋文化遗产的问题。它断言，通过应用一致的评估和分析框架，可以通过更全面和结构化地了解能力发展举措来改善海洋文化遗产的能力发展。这允许对以前或正在进行的举措进行评估和反思，从而在未来实施更有效的举措。为了做到这一点，提出了一个按十个参数对计划进行分类的模型。然后将其应用于以中东和北非 (MENA) 地区为特色的一系列案例研究。随后讨论了从案例研究举措的检查和评估中得出的结论和主题如何能够更深入地了解能力开发工作，并分析参数模型作为框架如何有助于改进能力开发总体上威胁到海洋文化遗产。提出了一个按十个参数对倡议进行分类的模型。然后将其应用于以中东和北非 (MENA) 地区为特色的一系列案例研究。随后讨论了从案例研究举措的检查和评估中得出的结论和主题如何能够更深入地了解能力开发工作，并分析参数模型作为框架如何有助于改进能力开发总体上威胁到海洋文化遗产。提出了一个按十个参数对倡议进行分类的模型。然后将其应用于以中东和北非 (MENA) 地区为特色的一系列案例研究。随后讨论了从案例研究举措的检查和评估中得出的结论和主题如何能够更深入地了解能力开发工作，并分析参数模型作为框架如何有助于改进能力开发总体上威胁到海洋文化遗产。
