Responding to this year's entry into force of the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, the Council for Cultural Affairs has asked the Center for Marine Policy Studies to draft an Undersea Cultural Artifacts Preservation, Protection, and Management Act for the ROC. The act, which aims to adapt international law to Taiwan, may be sent to the Legislative Yuan for review as early as late 2009.
而為了因應聯合國《保護水下文化遺產公約》今年生效，文建會已委託中山大學海洋政策研究中心擬定《中華民國水下文化資產保存保護與管理條例草案》，將國際法的規定加以「國內法」化，預計最快今年底可送進立法院審議。
