Regional Training Workshop on Geological, Technological, Biological and Environmental Aspects of Deep Sea Minerals 13-17 August, 2012

Abstract

The Regional Training Workshop on the Geological, Biological, Technological and Environmental Aspects of Deep Sea Minerals, is about bringing regional participants together to an appreciation and understanding of the extent of knowledge of the deep sea and the minerals contained therein. The workshop continues the SPC-EU EDF10 Deep Sea Minerals (DSM) Project objective for area-specific assistance provided for Pacific States in order to better position them to determine policies for deep sea minerals activities that occur within the region, and properly manage these activities within internationally acceptable levels of sustainable resource management.
