Heritage conservation benefits AMSA and the Australian community in several ways.
- It contributes to valuing and preserving Australia’s maritime history which is so closely linked to the nation’s development.
- It provides another avenue for AMSA to actively engage with the Australian community to better promote
- its overall objectives of maritime safety and protection of the marine environment.
- It improves public access to maritime heritage structures, artefacts and information, in particular to historic lighthouses.
- It demonstrates that heritage objectives can effectively co-exist with an organisations business objectives.
