There is a growing interest for bioprospecting for deep seabed genetic resources.

We have invested heavily in the exploration of minerals in the deep seabed.

The library manages the Authority's specialized collection of reference and research materials focusing on matters relating to the law of the sea and deep seabed mining.

The family as a whole may represent up to 15 of the deep sea fish population.

In that context, my country is following with interest the efforts aimed at establishing a moratorium on deep sea bottom trawling.

(b) Prospects for international collaboration in marine environmental research to enhance understanding in the deep sea environment proceedings of the workshop of the International Seabed Authority, 29 July to 2 August 2002, Kingston, Jamaica

However, effects on deep water fish are likely to depend on whether temperatures change at great depths, which is still uncertain.

We reiterate our concern at the insufficiency of scientific information on the destructive environmental impact of deep sea fishing practices, in particular bottom trawling.

So within three years, from 2003 to 2006, we were able to get norm in place that actually changed the paradigm of how fishers went about deep sea bottom trawling.

This is surely one of the biggest reasons for the lax regulation of deep sea oil drilling.

There are 40 platforms and vessels around the world that could have submitted a tender for the drilling of the deep water (1,600 meter) oil exploration well off Cuban coasts.

Although most are located in the depths of seas and oceans, some also exist in shallow water, which can spew material into the air during an eruption.

In accordance with paragraph 2 of article 143 of the Convention, the Authority is engaged in promoting marine scientific research in the deep ocean and, to that end, it encourages and collaborates with groups of international scientists.

It is the deepest countryside.

I say this from my heart.

In order to enhance prospects for international agreement on effective management, as the research community ventures further into deep sea environments, we encourage broad international collaboration and widespread availability of data, samples and findings.

A similar agreement has been concluded with FAO and the Institute of Marine Research in Norway for cooperation in, and co financing of, a project dealing with fisheries and living marine resources trawl assessments and management.

It was recalled that some of the studies carried out by the Authority had suggested that there was a greater risk of environmental damage from exploration for sulphides and crusts as compared to exploration for polymetallic nodules.

In their hearts, most Europeans know this.

Complex and unique ecologies, most notably underground volcanoes known as seamounts, are ripped to shreds, because bottom trawling is the low cost way to catch a few deep sea fish species.

Reacting to the news, Dara writes in his blog called 'Words from the depth of my heart'

For this reason scientists once assumed that life would be sparse in the deep ocean but virtually every probe has revealed that, on the contrary, life is abundant in the deep ocean.

Yet, even at shallow depths, useful temperatures for power generation are often available.

This trinity is not something new for Japan, but has deep historical roots.
