Abstract: 
An interdisciplinary discipline called maritime archaeology studies human cultures' submerged cultural legacy. India offers tremendous opportunities for marine archaeology study due to its extensive coastline and maritime heritage. To strengthen India's security measures, this article discusses the relevance of maritime archaeology in India and emphasizes the urgent necessity for a specialized marine forensic laboratory. The numerous facets of marine archaeology are covered in the research, along with their historical significance, archaeological methods, and national security concerns. The need to create a marine forensic lab to investigate crimes involving India's undersea cultural treasures and improve maritime security is further emphasized.
