There are over 12,000 linear miles of water courses in the state, and the state claims title to all constantly inundated land beneath these water courses, and to the ocean bottom out to the 3-mile limit. With the introduction of modern scuba equipment and the general growth of the leisure industries, a new frontier was opened. With the opening of this frontier a new problem was created; one of what to do about the impact of divers on underwater resources. South Carolina’s waters contain, according to hobby divers, everything from fossilized paleontological remains to stolen bicycles.

Peter Miller's introduction states that the 10 papers serve as "starting points for discussions of the method and theory of cultural resource management and of public policies that affect cultural resource conservation" (p. 2) and that they are "intended for an audience of those active in or training for a career in CRM" (p. 3). This volume comments on the history of CRM, both in general and in terms of specific state and federal programs; describes ongoing state and federal programs; and prognosticates on future trends and problems. James Hester proposes site preservation as a form of mitigation. Kent Schneider and Michael Beckes describe how the U.S. Forest Service has dealt with the controversial subject of human burials. Diane Gelburd looks forward into the 1990s to predict how future demographic changes might affect CRM and suggests ways in which CRM efforts might be improved. Evan DeBloois discusses the growth of CRM programs within the U.S. Forest Service and notes how future challenges might be dealt with. Mark A. Mathis describes the CRM program in North Carolina and Bruce Rippeteau, Steven Smith, Christopher Amer, and Glen Hanson, describe the program in South Carolina. Francis P. McManamon, George S. Smith, and Richard C. Waldbauer enumerate the National Park Service's efforts to organize and disseminate data on CRM projects, methodological developments, and policy and law. Ned Woodall talks about the role of the Society of Professional Archeologists. John G. Douglas of the Bureau of Land Management presents a critical history synthesis as well as proposes future management concerns and trends. James Miller of the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research visualizes CRM trends in Florida in the 1990s.
