In conditions of growing demand for renewable energy technology and mobile devices, the country is looking for new sources of rare -earth minerals – and a deep -sea bottom offers many opportunities. Explain | What does the international organ for the seabed ? do Eileen Travex The climate and environment ~ 60 > protection of underwater ecosystems in the context of growing interest from companies to extract rare minerals, the development of legislation for the protection of deep-sea zones and the creation of a global bio-Bank-only some of the key achievements of the international body for the seabed (ISA), which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the foundation in its headquarters in its headquarters in its headquarters in its headquarters Kingstone, Jamaica. what does ISA ?The international body of the seabed is managed by mineral resources located outside national jurisdictions-this zone covers 54 percent of the world ocean. 62 ISA was created in 1994 on the basis of the UN Convention under the law. The organization regulates and provides responsible management of all types of economic activity on a deep-sea bottom, including mineral mining. ~ ~ ~ ~ p laang = “en-gb” > isa is authorized to ensure efficient protection of the marine environment from the negative consequences of deep-sea bottom resources. Its activity contributes to the achievement of the goals of the UN agenda in the field of sustainable development until 2030. why the work of isa is important now 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62ISA is the only international body whose activity is concentrated in deep -sea territories outside the national borders. The organization solves relevant environmental tasks – from the disposal of plastic waste to counteracting the uncontrolled operation of ocean resources in the race with rare -earth minerals necessary for the production of lithium batteries and other technological products. At the bottom of the ocean you can get copper, cobalt, gold, lantan, neophye, nickel, silver, item and zinc. 60 ~ p land = “en-gb” > now states can carry out deep-sea production only within their territorial economic zones. Outside these borders, according to international law, the seabed does not belong to a single country or corporation. As emphasized by the ISA Secretary General Leticia Carvalia in his article, “this is our general heritage.” 62 > 62 > 62 > project of the production code In conditions of growing demand for renewable energy technology and mobile devices, the country is looking for new sources of rare -earth minerals – and a deep -sea bottom offers many opportunities. At their 30th session, ISA members are working on the project of the production code, which should protect the marine environment and create a legal basis for responsible, environmentally stable activities in the deep-sea zone-for the benefit of all of humanity. ~ 60 > 60 ~ h2 > paradox of the missing plastic 60 ~ p laang = “en-gb” > plastic pollution is one of the problems with which isa fights within the framework of the global research program adopted in July 2020. This project serves as a plan of action for marine research. Its strategic priorities include the expansion of knowledge about deep-sea ecosystems, promoting data to exchange data and the study of the scientific aspects of the penetration of plastic into deep-sea zones. 60 ~ p laang = “en-gb” > 62 > 62 > 62 ~The global spread of plastic waste is potential threats to the sustainable use of oceans. In 2019, the world industry produced more than 450 million tons of plastic, and forecasts indicate a further increase in volumes, which will increase the load on the marine environment and its inhabitants. 60 ~ “en-gb” > paradox of missing plastic This is a discrepancy between the estimated number of plastic waste that fall into the environment (especially the oceans), and the volume that can be detected. Despite the fact that millions of tons of plastic are discarded into the ocean annually, studies show that in marine systems – surface waters, bottom layers and coastal areas – only a small part of this volume is revealed. ~ 60 > new global biobank recently ISA has begun to create a new bio-Bank. The official launch of the initiative of the “Biobank of the Sea” took place in June on the fields of the UN conference by oceans in Nice. The project is aimed at improving access to biological samples and genetic data collected in the international zone of sea bottom. 62 > 62 ~The initiative, focused on supporting deep -sea research and inclusive scientific cooperation, is especially important for developing countries. Within the framework of the project, it is planned to create a global storage of biological samples and develop standard operating procedures to improve the quality of data, their exchange and use by all interested parties. ~ 60 > 60 “Global Biobank is an ISA answer to the growing need for promotion, knowledge, exchange of knowledge, exchange of knowledge increasing potential and expanding access to information about deep -sea areas, ”Leticia emphasized by Carvalia. – We strive to create standardized and fair conditions for scientific cooperation so that states and institutions can study and protect the most remote ecosystems of the ocean. “62 ~~ 60 > DAEPDATA vast array of data collected by ISA contributes to the development of national and global environmental strategies. Each byte obtained during the research makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of life in the ocean and helps to form political decisions. 60 ~ p laang = “en-gb” > in 2019 ISA launched the DEEPDATA database-the world’s largest vault of environmental information about the deep-sea area. In May 2023, Deepdata included more than 10 terabytes of data, which is equivalent to about 6.9 million file downloads on Instagram. In 2022, this global platform was visited about 2.4 million times. Deepdata materials were mentioned more than 160 times in scientific publications.
