(a) An exploration permit allows the permittee to collect remote sensing and visual information on potential historic shipwreck sites without excavation or bottom disturbance. The exploration permit may be modified in writing at a later stage to allow such disturbance and excavation for purposes of attempting to determine the presence or absence and the nature of potential historic shipwreck sites. The number, location, extent and type of such test excavations shall be specified in the permit modification.
(b) A recovery permit may be issued only after the existence and nature of a historic shipwreck site has been documented by exploration permit activities and mutually agreed upon by the division and the permittee.
