I would assume that we have or could develop the technology to place audio and video recording equipment on any historically significant sites.

  Not really. Even just putting a buoy in place has issues. It would turn a subsurface wreck into a new surface obstacle/hazard. Then you get into the tricky matter of detection and response. Sending out a tiny ship every time the buoy lost contact wouldn't be safe. You'd have to assume pirates each and every time. Local law enforcement/navies aren't going to be happy responding to possible pirates tampering with a buoy only to find none.

    The USS Houston, for example, is property of the US Navy. They can task their satellites to image this and other sites regualarly. No need for a bouy. When a ship is there, they can get local or their own asserts to overfly or intercept. It's no big technical problem.

    I'm thinking just about detection at this point. Knowing specifically what's going on and who is doing it would be an important first step towards any subsequent policing or political action.
