International Seabed Authority

ISA is convening the first of its webinar series on marine scientific research, focusing on deep-sea mineral resources and technologies.

Building on the activities of the African Deep Seabed Resources (ADSR) project and the identification of specific capacity building and development needs by African country members of ISA , the ISA Secretariat is convening a series of webinars on marine scientific research focusing on a wide range of topics, such as mineral resources assessments, environmental management and data management. Representatives of ISA member States in Africa and their experts and practitioners in the relevant fields will be actively engaged.The first webinar in the series will take place on 16 September 2021, with a focus on Deep-sea Mineral Resources and Technologies. The main objective of this webinar will be to present complementarity between exploration of deep seabed mineral resources and marine scientific research undertaken in the Area, conceived as the foundation of sustainable development of deep seabed mineral resources. In particular, it will focus on sharing the previous and ongoing work of ISA on promoting marine scientific research, including the scientific contribution of contractors through their exploration activities, and discuss how ISA’s institutional knowledge and experience can inform efforts of ISA member States towards achieving sustainable ocean development. A detailed agenda will be available on the ISA website in due course, including an information note on the use of the online meeting platform (Microsoft Teams). Representatives of African member States of ISA and their nominated experts/practitioners, with an interest in contributing to the objectives of this webinar, are invited to register here as soon as possible and, no later than 30 August 2021. The maximum number of representatives from each member States will be limited to three for logistical reasons realted to the online meeting platform.
