The Maritime Archaeology and Heritage Institute (MAHI) is a non-profit, autonomous research organisation dedicated to the investigation and preservation of maritime cultural heritage in the Western Indian Ocean. Based in Pakistan, MAHI is led by international experts in the fields of maritime archaeology and cultural heritage management, who bring with them decades of operational experience on cultural heritage projects in the Indian Ocean and Asia-Pacific regions. As Maritime Archaeology is a new discipline in Pakistan, MAHI aims to draw on a broad network of multidisciplinary regional and international experts to deliver on its research objectives. These include archaeological investigation, education and training, GIS and remote sensing, intangible cultural heritage and tourism. MAHI supports the aims of the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).
