deposits and gas hydrates of the continental shelf beyond the 200-mile limit of the world’s margins. This part also contains case studies on the development of the Namibian offshore diamond industry and of an environmental baseline that was established to help protect important fisheries that are associated with the Benguela Current. Part 4 focuses on regulatory and promotional frameworks in countries that have established profitable marine mining industries. It begins with a status report of the data and information requirements of Namibia’s legislation with respect to offshore diamond exploration and mining, followed by the information and data that are required of contractors operating in marine areas in Norway, Brazil and Indonesia, in respect of offshore hydrocarbons and natural gas, and the role of SOPAC in promoting exploration for marine mineral resources in the Pacific region. During the five days of the workshop, 21 formal presentations that included slides and videos were made and a great deal of valuable discussions and interaction took place among the participants. Slides and videos during the workshop demonstrated state-of-the-art technologies that could be applied to exploration for seafloor massive sulphides deposits, the types of mineral resources to be found in the Area and the oasis of life to be found in and around seafloor polymetallic massive sulphides deposits among other things. On behalf of the International Seabed Authority, I wish to express my gratitude to the participants in the workshop, especially the scientists for the valuable information that they provided during the workshop on the marine scientific research being undertaken that has resulted in discovery of these new and exciting mineral resources.
