The wreck of the Titanic is to come under the protection of the United Nations cultural agency Unesco.
The agency says more than 700 divers have visited the site, 4,000 metres under water off the coast of Canada.
The ship will fall under the 2001 Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage once it passes the 100th anniversary of its sinking on 15 April.
The convention aims to prevent unscientific or unethical exploration.

On a related note, there is a new documentary coming out about the Titanic which is supposed to release the latest info on it if I remember correctly. James Cameron was a part of it- apparently he is really into the whole deep sea thing and is one of the reasons he directed the movie The Titanic in the first place.
