Abstract
    The International Seabed Authority is entrusted with the development of mineral resources in the Area that are the common heritage of mankind. This development for the benefit of mankind is subject to a very specific legal regime. This includes that exclusive rights to mineral resources may only be acquired by contract with the Authority. Given this unique mandate, the Authority is both on the periphery of and closely involved in discussions on the protection of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. Indeed, to achieve the objective of development of the common heritage of mankind, the functions that the Authority exercises in respect of marine scientific research and in respect of the protection and preservation of the marine environment are very important. The exercise of those functions demonstrates their complementarity. The proposal for the establishment of a set of representative preservation reference zones covering 25% of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone is illustrative of this.
