In 2005 the Tasmanian Government declared a Heritage Area over part of the North-East Peninsula of Recherche Bay. The aim was to protect the place's historic cultural heritage while providing the opportunity for a more rigorous historical cultural heritage significance assessment to be undertaken.
Following that declaration, work began on organising a joint research project involving Tasmanian and French experts.
