The underwater cultural, archaeological and historical findings have been protected by the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage since 2002. Slovenia ratified it in 2008. This is especially relevant in Slovenia where one of the biggest and most important archeological sites is, in fact, the Ljubljanica river, declared a cultural monument of national importance in 2003. The pioneer underwater research of its treasures by the then Provincial Museum of Carniola dates back in 1884.

The complex Ljubljanica Exhibition and Discovery Site project (2014–2016) that is presented to public in the Ljubljanica River Exhibition, was led by Irena Šinkovec, archaeologist and curator at the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana. In 2019 it won the UNESCO award for best practice in underwater cultural heritage. The archaeologist Andrej Gaspari (Department of Archaeology, University of Ljubljana) who laid the foundations of advanced underwater archaeology in Slovenia, became a member of a UNESCO advisory board.

Some of the underwater finds from the Slovenian part of the Trieste Bay in the Adriatic Sea, however, have been included also in the collections of the Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum in Piran. The others remain in situ.
