heritage, whether arising from human activity or any other cause including looting.
4. The Coordinating State shall:
(a) implement measures of protection which have been agreed by the consulting States, which
include the Coordinating State, unless the consulting States, which include the Coordinating
State, agree that another State Party shall implement those measures; and
(b) issue all necessary authorizations for such agreed measures, in conformity with this
Convention, unless the consulting States, which include the Coordinating State, agree that
another State Party shall issue those authorizations.

inform the Director-General of the results, who in turn shall make such information available
to other States Parties.
6. In coordinating consultations, taking measures, conducting preliminary research, and/or
issuing authorizations pursuant to this Article, the Coordinating State shall act for the benefit
of humanity as a whole, on behalf of all States Parties. Particular regard shall be paid to the
preferential rights of States of cultural, historical or archaeological origin in respect of the
underwater cultural heritage concerned.
