First Climate Change National Adaptation Plan
https://environment.govt.nz/assets/publications/climate-change/MFE-AoG-20664-GF-National-Adaptation-Plan-2022-WEB.pdf#page1
Ed: The heritage objective looks comprehensive:
'HBP4 Threats to cultural heritage arising from climate change are understood and impacts minimised
• Understand where cultural heritage sites are, their values, who they are important to and how climate change could affect them.
• Understand how the loss of cultural heritage can affect social, cultural, spiritual and economic wellbeing, including for Māori, and the positive role of cultural heritage in adaptation and wellbeing.
• Improve disaster management for cultural heritage.
• Enable communities to maintain and protect their taonga and assets.
• Protect and conserve cultural heritage through appropriate regulation.'
Ed: The actions look undercooked though:
• action 3.26: Produce guidance for disaster risk management for cultural heritage
• action 3.27: Develop a framework for assessing exposure and vulnerability of taonga/cultural assets to climate change
• action 7.1: Research how cultural heritage contributes to community wellbeing and climate change adaptation.

After 350 years, sea gives up lost jewels of Spanish shipwreck
Marine archaeologists stunned by priceless cache long hidden beneath the Bahamas' shark-infested waters. It was a Spanish galleon laden with treasures so sumptuous that its sinking in the Bahamas in 1656 sparked repeated salvage attempts over the next 350 years. So when another expedition was launched recently, few thought that there could be anything left – but exquisite, jewel-encrusted pendants and gold chains are among spectacular finds that have now been recovered, having lain untouched on the seabed for hundreds of years.

TAIWAN - Archaeology Magazine
TAIWAN: A fisherman recently pulled up a surprise catch: a prehistoric hominin jawbone. The robust bone could have belonged to Homo erectus or to the Denisovan people known from a cave site in Russia, but its particularly thick dentition suggests it could be different from both.
